Offset (Displacement Modifier)

[ralphgeorg-s]

the library is amazing. I would like to add a displacement - for example 0.5mm - so that the objects are not water-tight. Is there an option?

[nicklockwood]

I'm not sure I understand. What do you want to displace?

[ralphgeorg-s]

In blender its called - overlap threshold

[nicklockwood]

OK, I think I understand. This feature doesn't exist in Euclid currently, but isn't hard to add.

[ralphgeorg-s]

Thx for your answer. Can you guide us on how to do this?

[nicklockwood]

@ralphgeorg-s I'll add the feature soon.

[ralphgeorg-s]

that's amazing, thx.

[nicklockwood]

@ralphgeorg-s I've pushed the feature to the develop branch. Use it like this:

let smallerMesh = mesh.inset(by: 0.01)
let biggerMesh = mesh.inset(by: -0.01)

[nicklockwood]

@ralphgeorg-s actually it seems a little buggy for some meshes. I'll let you know when it's fixed.

[nicklockwood]

@ralphgeorg-s OK, it's working better now. There are still some issues with concave meshes, but that may not be an issue for you. Let me know if it solves your problem.

[ralphgeorg-s]

Thx so much, we will test.

[ralphgeorg-s]

@nicklockwood - we tried yesterday night - but it takes hours to calculate. We do have some complex files.

[nicklockwood]

@ralphgeorg-s OK, I'll do some work to optimize it. Can you send me a sample file I can use for testing?

@ralphgeorg-s I've improved the performance of Mesh.inset(by:) - it should now be near-instant.

[ralphgeorg-s]

Hi Nick, with inset, the simple objects get messed up. Without the calculation is clean. Any idea why that happens? The last change works really well. The cal. is done super quick. Inset 0.05 means 50 microns? [image: Screen Shot 2022-02-24 at 8.29.36 AM.png] [image: photo_2022-02-24 08.29.28.jpeg]
