About this Block
What it does: The Subtract block returns the result of the first input minus the second input (). Common uses:- Defining custom equations for implicit geometry or field-driven design.
- Reducing a property by a specific constant or variable.
- Calculating the relative distance or displacement between two points or vectors.
- Unlike the Add block, the order of inputs in the Subtract block matters. Ensure your Minuend (the value being decreased) is the first input and your Subtrahend (the value to subtract) is the second.
- When used with scalar fields, this block subtracts the value of the second scalar field from the first at every point in space.
- To create TPMS from an equation, refer to this guide.
