Earns its place in the superhive library for handling edge-ring selection inside Sverchok by edge index. The developer states it is in an initial state and invites feedback, with a stated goal of merging it into the backbone.
Sverchok Edge Rings Node is a node for the Sverchok add-on in Blender that selects corresponding edge rings by specifying an edge index, an approach similar to edge rings in Blender's editing.
The node reads basic geometric data through its vert, edge and face inputs and takes an initial edge index to start from. A threshold input sets the difference threshold when selecting rings edges in edge mode; it is valid between -1 and 1, with smaller values selecting more rings edges. Two parameters govern selection: edge selects rings edges by edge structure, while face selects them by face structure. The node returns the selected rings edge index and is brought in by importing the corresponding .json file through the Sverchok import function.
The developer notes the node is in its initial state and welcomes feedback, with the stated aim of merging it into the backbone. It lists compatibility across Blender 2.8 through 3.0 and carries a Royalty Free license.
Sverchok Edge Rings Node is best for blender artists using Sverchok who want to select edge rings by specifying an edge index.
Sverchok Edge Rings Node is completely free to download and use.
Sverchok Edge Rings Node lists compatibility with Blender 2.8, 2.81, 2.82, 2.83, 2.9, 2.91, 2.92, 2.93 and 3.0, so it should work within Sverchok on any of those releases. It was published over four years ago, so for newer Blender versions beyond that range, check the developer's page for the latest details before relying on the node in a current project or pipeline.
Sverchok Edge Rings Node uses a threshold input that sets the difference threshold when selecting rings edges in edge mode. The value is valid between -1 and 1, and smaller values select more rings edges. Alongside the threshold, the node takes an initial edge index and basic geometric data from the vert, edge and face inputs, then returns the selected rings edge index. Adjusting the threshold is how you control how many rings edges are selected.
Sverchok Edge Rings Node imports the corresponding .json file using the Sverchok import function, so you bring it into your setup through Sverchok itself. The node exposes two selection parameters: edge, which selects rings edges by edge structure, and face, which selects them by face structure. The developer notes the node is in its initial state and welcomes feedback, with the stated goal of merging it into the backbone.
Sverchok Edge Rings Node is listed as free in this catalog, and it carries a Royalty Free license. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current arrangement and any usage conditions, check the developer's page directly. The node is provided in an initial state, and the developer has invited users to send feedback, which is worth keeping in mind when deciding how to fit it into ongoing work.
