Creation method

There are two options for creating a Surface From Points node.

  • The first way to create a Surface From Points node using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need, or words associated with this node.
    • surfFromPnt
  • The second way is to select a Surface From Points node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Surface > Surface From Points

Steps

  • Create a Surface From Points node.
  • Connect the points array with which we want to create surface.
  • Add a port for additional points using the "add port" function in the port menu and connect other points or points array to the added ports.

After creating a node, connect the points array with which you want to create surface. For more points or points arrays, you need to add ports using the "add port" function in the port menu and connect other points or points array to these ports. On the output port, we will get the result surface all the points.
