Parameters
Group node allows to create selections of shapes/points. These groups can be targeted by other nodes, like Transform or Color downstream, to apply modifications to a subset of geometry.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Label | The display name for the node. |
Group name | The name used to reference this group. |
Base group | Optional existing group to merge with. If empty, uses Group name. |
Operation | How to resolve collisions with an existing group. |
Group | Specifies a subset of items to affect. Use commas to separate multiple patterns. Supports wildcards (*, ?). |
Group types
Manual selection: allows to use a selection tool on the canvas to manually pick entire shapes or individual points on a path. Use Shift+Drag to add to your selection and Alt+Drag to remove from it.Pattern: selects shapes based on a name-matching pattern. The following special characters can be used:Pattern Description *Wildcard. Matches any number of characters ( leg*).^Exclusion. Placed at the start to exclude matching items ( * ^leg_foot).,Separator. Used to combine multiple patterns ( Circle 1, Star 1).Bounding box: selects any shapes or points that fall within a defined rectangular area. EnablePartial selectionto include shapes that only partially intersect the box.Percent: selects a specified percentage of the total incoming shapes or points. Control the origin of the selection using theModedropdown:From start(selects the first X%),From end(selects the last X%), orFrom center(selects the middle X%).Randoms selection: works on a point-by-point basis. It selects points randomly based on aSeedand aProbabilityvalue, allowing for organic, scattered selections.
