2 nodes in this group

Image nodes bridge 2D vector design and 3D parametric modeling. They import SVG files and convert vector paths into curve geometry that can be extruded, profiled, paneled, or sent to CNC fabrication. The typical workflow is: import an SVG via Vector Graphics Input → parse it with Parse Vector Graphics to extract curves → optionally filter by layer for multi-operation CAM setups (cut vs. engrave vs. drill).

Parse Vector Graphics

Behavior

Imports and interprets vector graphics (SVG files) and converts them into usable curve geometry within the node graph. Transforms SVG paths, shapes, and strokes into BeeGraphy curves for further manipulation. Connect to a Vector Graphics Input node to provide the SVG file. Each SVG path element becomes a separate curve in the output. Complex SVGs with many paths may increase solve time. Supports logos, illustrations, technical drawings, and CNC cut patterns.

Filter By Layer Operation

Behavior

Filters geometry based on assigned operation types or layer names. Designed for CAM workflows where different model components require distinct fabrication processes - cutting, engraving, or drilling. Specify a layer name (e.g. "curve", "cut", "engrave") and the node outputs only geometry matching that layer. The Filtered Count output reports how many elements matched. Use multiple Filter nodes to separate an SVG into different fabrication operations.
