Keeps or removes the beams of a lattice that pass one test: their length, thickness or angle to a plane compared with a value, a list with one value per beam, how their ends connect, whether they lie in a region, or whether they are attached.
Attached: beams that share an end, or whose thickened beams overlap where they cross, form one group; a group passes when one of its beams touches the Anchor (its surface within Touch tolerance of the Anchor, tested every quarter of the beam's radius along it, a rib wall along its base and its top), or, with no Anchor, when it holds the most material (the first of equal ones in the lattice's beam order).
Beams stay whole, and vertices no beam uses any more are dropped. The Attached test says in the System Log how many groups it found and how many beams went.
The lattice to edit.
What each beam is tested on.
Keep: the beams that pass stay and the rest go. Remove: the beams that pass go.
How each beam's value is compared with the criterion; beams that pass are kept. = and != allow a 1e-9 tolerance.
Beam length to compare against, in mm.
Beam diameter to compare against, in mm.
Angle to the plane to compare against, in degrees: 0 lies in the plane, 90 stands on it.
Plane the angle is measured from. The XY plane when unset.
One value per beam, in the lattice's beam order; the count must match.
The value each beam's entry is compared with.
Dangling: exactly one end touches no other beam. Closed: both ends are joined. Loose: neither end is. Classes are read once, on the lattice as it comes in.
Solid marking the region; a beam end is inside where its value is 0 or below.
Whole: a beam is in the region when both ends are inside. Touching: when either is.
The Solid a group of beams must touch to pass. Unset: the group with the most material passes.
How close a beam's surface must come to the Anchor to touch it, in mm (0: touching or overlapping).
Values the block gives besides its output. The editor lists them under Properties, and an input can read one by reference.
Every beam, each with its own properties.
All the thickened beams merged into one Solid; beams with no thickness yet are the distance to their segments.
