Inputs
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
Mesh
|
|
Standard Mesh input.
|
|
|
|
Selection
|
|
The meshes used to generate a point cloud.
|
|
|
|
Position
|
|
Positions of generated points. By default, this input is the same as
|
|
if the :doc:`/modeling/geometry_nodes/geometry/read/position` was connected.
|
|
|
|
Radius
|
|
Radii of generated points.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Properties
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Mode
|
|
:Vertices:
|
|
Points are generated for each vertex.
|
|
:Edges:
|
|
Points are generated for each edge, at the middle of each edge, by default.
|
|
:Faces:
|
|
Points are generated for each face, at the average of all of each face's vertices, by default.
|
|
:Corners:
|
|
Points are generated for each corner. The points are all placed at the location of each
|
|
corners vertex, so they will overlap by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Outputs
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Points
|
