PipeReplacer

Replaces the geometry of the feature with a three-dimensional pipe created by sweeping a stroked disk along the input curve.

Usage Notes

  • If the input path has tangent discontinuities (i.e. corners) the pipe will have mitered corners.

  • If the input path has a corner sharper than 135 degrees, the miter corner will be truncated.

  • If smooth corners are preferred, the input path curve may be preprocessed with a Generalizer, using the Fillet smoothing algorithm.

Parameters

Editing Transformer Parameters

Using a set of menu options, transformer parameters can be assigned by referencing other elements in the workspace. More advanced functions, such as an advanced editor and an arithmetic editor, are also available in some transformers. To access a menu of these options, click beside the applicable parameter. For more information, see Transformer Parameter Menu Options.

Defining Values

There are several ways to define a value for use in a Transformer. The simplest is to simply type in a value or string, which can include functions of various types such as attribute references, math and string functions, and workspace parameters. There are a number of tools and shortcuts that can assist in constructing values, generally available from the drop-down context menu adjacent to the value field.

Dialog Options - Tables

Transformers with table-style parameters have additional tools for populating and manipulating values.
