Geometry Node Editor#
The Geometry Node editor is used to edit Node Groups which are used by the Geometry Node Modifier. Such a node group can define many operations to modify an object’s geometry.
A list of all Geometry Nodes is available in the modeling section.
Interface#
Header#
- Geometry Nodes Type
Geometry Nodes can have multiple contexts depending on the intended function of the node group. Changing the context adjusts the user interface to best fit the needs of the selected context.
- Modifier:
Used to create node groups that will be used by the Geometry Nodes Modifier.
- Tool:
Used to create node groups that will be used to create Node-Based Tools.
- View

- Pin (pin icon)
The pin button will keep the current node group selection fixed, instead of using the Active Modifier. When a node group is pinned, it will remain visible in the Geometry Node editor even when another object or modifier is selected elsewhere.
