How to use Trim Curve node in Oraphim (geometry.trim_curve)

Type ID: geometry.trim_curve
Category: Transform

What this node does

The Trim Curve node is registered in Oraphim's Transform category and performs the graph operation represented by its sockets and controls below.

The current Oraphim runtime registers 7 sockets and 6 properties for this node. Its main registered inputs are Curve, Selection, Start; its main outputs are Curve. The tables below are generated from the runtime registry rather than a handwritten approximation.

Inputs

Socket	Key	Type
Curve	curve	Geometry3D
Selection	selection	Bool
Start	start	Float
End	end	Float
Start	start_001	Float
End	end_001	Float

Outputs

Socket	Key	Type
Curve	out_geometry	Geometry3D

Controls

Control	Key	Type	Group	Registry default
Selection	selection	Bool	Inputs	1.0
Mode	mode	String	Node	0.0
Start	start	Float	Inputs	0.0
End	end	Float	Inputs	1.0
Start	start_001	Float	Inputs	0.0
End	end_001	Float	Inputs	1.0

How to use it

1. Add Trim Curve from node search. Use geometry.trim_curve when you need the exact registry entry.
2. Connect a compatible Geometry3D source to Curve. Add the other inputs only when the operation needs them.
3. Start with the registry defaults and adjust Selection, Mode, Start first so you can see the node's effect in isolation.
4. Route Curve (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 Trim Curve. Feed a compatible source into Curve. Change Selection away from its registry default and compare the result. Connect Curve 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.
