8.135. Slice Triangle Geometry
Group (Subgroup)
Sampling (Geometry)
Description
This Filter slices an input Triangle Geometry, producing an Edge Geometry. The user can control the range over which to slice (either the entire range of the geoemtry or a specified subregion), and the spacing bewteen slices. Currently this filter only supports slicing along the direction of the z axis. The total area and perimieter of each slice is also computed and stored as an attribute on each created slice.
Additionally, if the input Triangle Geometry is labeled with an identifier array (such as different regions or features), the user may select this array and the resulting edges will inherit these identifiers.
Example Output
Example Surface Mesh being sliced with a 0.25 slice spacing.
Example Surface Mesh being sliced with a 2.0 slice spacing.
