Parents SOP

Overview

Procedural version of the polysplit sop.  This sop takes a set of curves as a second input that define where the splits should be made.  It also allows for easy patitioning of cut pieces when the curves are closed. Most of the functionality is the same as the polysplit sop, refer to the polysplit sop help for a good general description of what this sop does.

Usage

Input 1 is the polygonal geometry to be split, input 2 is one or more curves. The points on the curves should be snapped to points or edges in the geometry of input 1.

Parameters

Capture frame The actual capture frame to use.
