Is Face Planar Node¶

The Is Face Planar node outputs whether every triangle of a quads or N-gons is on the same plane as all of the others, in other words, if they have the same normal.

For example, a non-planar face can be created by moving a single vertex in a face but not the others. Triangles will always be planar.

Inputs¶

Threshold: The distance a point can be from the surface before the face is no longer considered planar.

Properties¶

This node has no properties.

Outputs¶

Planar: Whether each mesh face is planar.

Combined with the Set Material Node, this node is used to visualize all non-planar faces in a mesh.
