8.115. Remove Flagged Edges
Group (Subgroup)
Surface Meshing (Misc)
Description
This Filter removes Edges from the supplied Edges Geometry that are flagged by a (boolean|uint8) mask array as true|1. A new reduced Edge Geometry is created that contains all the remaining Edges. It is unknown until run time how many Edges will be removed from the Geometry. Therefore, this Filter requires that a new EdgeGeom be created to contain the reduced Edge Geometry. This new Geometry will NOT contain copies of any Feature Attribute Matrix or Ensemble Attribute Matrix from the original Geometry. The mask is expected to be over the edges themselves so it should be based on something from the Edge Data Attribute Matrix.
Data Handling
For each of the vertex and edge data attribute matrices, the user can select to copy none, some or all of the associated data arrays into the newly created geometry. If the user wishes to not copy any of the data, just leave the choice to “Copy Selected XXX Data” [0] but do not populate the list with any selections.
Note: Since it cannot be known before run time how many Edges will be removed, the new Edge Geometry and all associated Edge data to be copied will be initialized to have size 0.
Example Output
The next figure shows an edge geometry that has had a mask generated. Yellow parts are flagged as true.
The next figure shows the result of running the filter.
