How to use Set ID node in Oraphim

Type ID: geometry.set_id
Category: Transform

What this node does

Changes id on incoming geometry and passes the edited result downstream.

The current Oraphim runtime registers 4 sockets and 2 properties for this node. Its main registered inputs are Geometry, Selection, ID; its main outputs are Geometry. The tables below are generated from the runtime registry rather than a handwritten approximation.

Inputs

Socket Key Type
Geometry geometry Geometry3D
Selection selection Bool
ID id Int

Outputs

Socket Key Type
Geometry out_geometry Geometry3D

Controls

Control Key Type Group Registry default
Selection selection Bool Inputs 1.0
ID id Int Inputs 0.0

How to use it

  1. Add Set ID from node search. Use geometry.set_id when you need the exact registry entry.
  2. Connect a compatible Geometry3D source to Geometry. Add the other inputs only when the operation needs them.
  3. Start with the registry defaults and adjust Selection, ID first so you can see the node's effect in isolation.
  4. Route Geometry (Geometry3D) into a compatible downstream node, viewer, or output path.
  5. Preview a representative frame, change one input/control at a time, and save/reopen reusable graphs to verify persistence.

Practical example

Create a small test graph with Set ID. Feed a compatible source into Geometry. Change Selection away from its registry default and compare the result. Connect Geometry to a compatible downstream stage so the result is visible. Keeping this test graph small makes socket-type, context, and parameter mistakes easier to diagnose before the node is used in a production graph.

Troubleshooting

  • If a connection is rejected, compare the exact socket data types in the tables above; Oraphim graph connections are typed.
  • If the result looks unchanged, confirm this node is on the active path to the viewer/output and that the expected graph/resource is selected.
  • If a control is unavailable, check required inputs and whether the property belongs to an internal or mode-dependent group.
  • If a saved graph behaves differently later, reopen it and verify node identity, connections, and edited property values before rendering.
