Delete Polygons

Delete Polygons

Updated: 5 Feb 2025

Delete polygons within its range
Example .dfx

Method #

This node deletes polygons from the parent geometry according to different cull modes.

Parameters

These properties control the 3D transforms of the node. Transforms will generally be inherited by child nodes, although they can be ignored through the Inherit Transform Channels attributes.

ParameterDetails
Position XThe objects position along the local x-axis.
Position YThe objects position along the local y-axis.
Position ZThe objects position along the local z-axis.
Rotation HeadingThe objects rotation around the local y-axis.
Rotation PitchThe objects rotation around the local x-axis.
Rotation BankThe objects rotation around the local z-axis.
Scale XThe objects scale along the local x-axis.
Scale YThe objects scale along the local y-axis.
Scale ZThe objects scale along the local z-axis.

Control the inheritance of the transforms from the parent.

ParameterDetails
PositionToggle inheritance of the Position from the parent.
RotationToggle inheritance of the Rotation from the parent.
ScaleToggle inheritance of the Scale from the parent.
World Position OnlyInherit the world position from the parent only, rotation and scale will be ignored. Overrides above properties.
Inherit TimeToggle inheritance of time from the parent.

These properties control the core behaviours of the node.

ParameterDetails
Cull FunctionControls how polygons are removed from the parent geometry.
  • Any Vertex Clipped : If a vertex is within the cull area, all connected polygons are removed.
  • All Vertices Clipped : A polygon is only removed if all its connected vertices are clipped.
Cull ShapeSelect a shape to cull the parent geometry with.
  • Plane : Geometry is removed based on an infinite plane.
  • Box : Geometry is removed based on a unit box.
  • Sphere : Geometry is removed based on a unit sphere.
  • Weightmap Only : Geometry is removed based on the connected weightmap.
Apply ModeChoose whether the deformer applies to the individual vertices or the mesh chunks.
  • Vertices : The mesh deformations are applied to the mesh vertices.
  • Chunks : The mesh deformations are applied to the separated mesh pieces.
Invert CullInvert the direction or area that is removed.
