Parameters
Group Invert node allows to create a selection based on exclusion. It takes an existing group pattern and creates a new group (if preffered) containing all geometry that is not part of that input group.
For example, if you have a group selecting the “top” points of a shape, Group Invert can automatically create a group for the “bottom” points without manual selection.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Label | The display name for the node. |
Group to invert | The group pattern to invert. Items NOT in this group will be selected. |
Replace original | If enabled, the inverted group will replace the original group definition using the same name. |
New group name | The name for the new inverted group definition. |
Selection Mode | Determines whether to preview and treat the resulting group as shapes or points. |
Key features
Selection modes
The node operates in two distinct modes depending on what kind of data you want to capture:
Shapes: Inverts the selection at the shapes level. If a shape is fully excluded by the input group, it is ignored. Any shape not in the input group becomes part of the new group.Points: Inverts the selection at the point level. It looks at every point in every shape. If a point is in the input group, it is excluded. All other points are included in the new group.
Replacing groups
By enabling the Replace Original toggle, you can update a group definition in-place.
- Disabled (default): Creates a brand new group with the name specified in
New Group Name. The original group remains available for use downstream. - Enabled: The new inverted selection is assigned the same name as the input
Group to Invert. This effectively overwrites the original group definition for all nodes connected after this one.
