Graph, Implicit Body, Inside or Outside Enum, Scalar, 1.1.0

Lattice, Implicit Body, Inside or Outside Enum, Scalar, Bool

Voronoi Volume Lattice, Implicit Body, Inside or Outside Enum, Scalar, Bool

About this Block

What it does: Trims lattice beams using a Volume, creating your desired lattice shape. You have the option to keep the beams inside of the Volume or outside, based on a Feature tolerance. A toggle switch allows you to round the edges of the remaining trimmed lattice. Common uses:
  • Creating custom lattice shapes.
  • The block keeps the lattice beams based on the Lattice to remain input. There are two options:
    • Inside: Keeps all the lattice beams within the Volume input.
    • Outside: Keeps all the lattice beams outside of the Volume input.
  • If you toggle on the Rounded edges input, the edges may protrude past your trimming volume.
  • You can use a Plane in the Volume input.
  • Open up the block’s Properties Panel to view the beam, implicit, and thick graph properties.
    • These properties are populated based on the type of Unit Cell you use. An error sign with a tooltip appears next to the property if it is empty.
