NurbsSweptSurface

NurbsSweptSurface describes a generalized surface that defines a path in 2D space and constant cross section that may be 2D or 3D. Conceptually it is the NURBS equivalent of the Extrusion node but permits the use of non-closed cross sections. It contains a crossSectionCurve [X3DNurbsControlCurveNode] and a trajectoryCurve [NurbsCurve]

Interface

Filter: X3D only | Avalon only | All
id Name DataType PartType Default ValueType Description
SFString cacheMode SFString initializeOnly auto auto; dlist; vbo; off controls the creation of geo cache objects; auto is vbo or dlist for dynamic objects
SFBool ccw SFBool inputOutput TRUE ccw = counterclockwise: ordering of vertex coordinates orientation. Hint: ccw false can reverse solid (backface culling) and normal-vector orientation.
SFNode crossSectionCurve SFNode inputOutput NurbsControlCurveNode 2D or 3D curve for describing a constant cross section of the path
SFBool invalidateVolume SFBool inputOutput FALSE set volume invalid
SFBool lit SFBool initializeOnly TRUE Specifies whether to enable/disable lighting the geometry. TRUE enables lighting, FALSE disables lighting.
MFString logFeature MFString inputOutput state, child, parent, route, eventIn, eventOut controls the logging of changes, state: log state changes (e.g. live), child: log child add/remove, parent: log parent add/remove, route: log route add/remove; eventIn: log receiving of events, eventOut: log sending of events: guiView, runtime system should create node-view, guiEdit: runtime system should create node-editeverything: log everything
SFNode metadata SFNode inputOutput MetadataObject container for payload metadata inside MetadataSet element
SFInt32 multiResolutionLevel SFInt32 initializeOnly 1 resolution level in progressive mesh
SFString normalUpdateMode SFString initializeOnly nice none; fast; nice force update of normals; nice update is with creaseAngle, fast is without
MFString optimizationMode MFString inputOutput auto auto; all, none, sharedVertex; stripFan; vertexResort; reduceIndexSize; singleIndex optimization mode settings; used leading +/- to switch modes on and off
SFFloat resolution SFFloat inputOutput 1 factor for subdivision of mesh
SFBool solid SFBool inputOutput TRUE Setting solid true means draw only one side of polygons (backface culling on), setting solid false means draw both sides of polygons (backface culling off). Warning: default value true can completely hide geometry if viewed from wrong side!
SFNode trajectoryCurve SFNode inputOutput NurbsControlCurveNode The trajectory curve is a 2d curve in the xz-plane that describes the path over which to trace the cross-section.
