slider |
x dimension of box |
|

out_fld |
mesh representing the box |
|
out_obj |
output renderable object |
Description
FBox creates a 3D wireframe Box_Mesh. The box's location corresponds to the extents of the input field. You can control the size of the box, its dimensionality, and its orientation in space. The box is useful as a probe object--the box's mesh volume will serve as the sample points within a larger field volume.
Input Ports
ui_parent
A port mean to be connected to a user interface object that will contain the macro's widgets. By default, it is connected to the default user interface object in the application in which the macro is instanced. (This default connection is not drawn.)
Parameters
x-dimension
y-dimension
z-dimension
Integer sliders that control the size of the box. The default is 8. The range is 2 to 100.
Transformation Editor
An XformEditor that controls the position, orientation, and scale of the box in space. The transformation defined here is added to the renderable out_obj.
Output Ports
out_fld
The output consists of a mesh whose coordinates are the eight corners of the box.
out_obj
This is a renderable version of the output field.
Example
