Change Details

This node calculates the dual of the input mesh. This means that faces get replaced with vertices and vertices with faces. There is an option to preserve boundaries. In that case vertices and edges on the boundary stay intact. {F11336461} With preserve boundary: {F11336506} And Without: {F11336513} NOTE: Does not work well with non-manifold geometry, like an edge connected to more than 2 faces, or a vertex connected to only two faces, while not being in the boundary. This is because there is no good way to define the dual at some of those points. In the following vertex you can't order the faces surrounding it in a way such that adjacent faces remain adjacent. At the moment non-manifold vertices are just removed for this reason. {F11467270}
