Published over four years ago and described by the developer as an initial-state node, this entry fills a specific niche for Sverchok users who want Blender-style linked flat face selection as a node, with the stated aim of eventually merging into the backbone.
Sverchok Linked Flat Faces is a node for the Sverchok system in Blender. It selects linked flat faces by taking a starting face index and an angle threshold, working similarly to the linked flat faces option in Blender's mesh editing.
The node takes vertex and face data as its basic geometric inputs, along with the initial face index (select_face_ind) and the angle threshold. It outputs face_index, the index of adjacent faces that fall within the specified angle range. Two search parameters, adjacent and neighbor, offer different ways to find adjacent faces.
This is an initial-state node, and the developer notes the eventual goal is to merge it into the backbone. The node imports its corresponding .json file through Sverchok's import function. It runs in Blender versions 2.8 through 3.1, documentation is included, and a demo video is available.
Sverchok Linked Flat Faces is best for blender users working in Sverchok who need to select linked flat faces on a mesh by face index and angle threshold within a node graph.
Sverchok Linked Flat Faces is completely free to download and use.
Sverchok Linked Flat Faces lists support for Blender versions 2.8, 2.81, 2.82, 2.83, 2.9, 2.91, 2.92, 2.93, 3.0 and 3.1, covering the 2.8 series through Blender 3.1. Because it runs as a node inside Sverchok, you will need Sverchok installed in your Blender setup. The node was published over four years ago, so if you are on a newer Blender release, check the developer's page to confirm current compatibility before relying on it in a project.
Sverchok Linked Flat Faces takes vertex and face data as its basic geometric inputs, plus an initial face index (select_face_ind) and an angle threshold. From those it outputs face_index, the index of adjacent faces that fall within the specified angle range. It also exposes two parameters, adjacent and neighbor, which give different ways to search for adjacent faces. In effect it works much like the linked flat faces option found in Blender's mesh editing, but as a node you can wire into a Sverchok graph.
Sverchok Linked Flat Faces imports its corresponding .json file using Sverchok's import function, so you bring the node setup into your project through Sverchok itself. The developer describes this as an initial-state node, with the stated goal of eventually merging it into the backbone. Documentation is included with the product, and a demo video is available for reference. For the latest details on the file and how to bring it in, check the developer's page.
Sverchok Linked Flat Faces is listed as free in this catalog and is described by the developer as royalty free. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current price and license details it is best to check the developer's page directly. The node is a Sverchok addition for Blender, published over four years ago, and comes with documentation. If you have questions about usage rights, the developer's page is the place to confirm before you download.
