9.100. Point Sample Edge Geometry

Description

This Filter will take an Edge geometry and sample each edge at a fixed spatial resolution to generate a new Vertex geometry of sample points. For each interpolated point it will:

  • Copy over the edge ID from the original edge.

  • Record the linear distance from the beginning of its scan vector.

The user can select additional Edge Data Arrays to also be copied onto the newly constructed Vertex geometry

Calculate Cumulative Sample Distance

Bool

Determines whether or not to calculate the cumulative distance (the distance from the starting endpoint to the sample vertex’s location) for each sample vertex on each edge.

Edge Attribute Arrays to Transfer

MultiArraySelection
