skel::DeleteJoints

Deletes a group of KineFX points from a geometry.

On this page
Since 20.0

The geo ports of this node are in-place ports. This means that the geometry is updated without creating a copy.

Inputs

*geo: Geometry Required

The geometry to remove the points from.

group: String

An optional pattern to use for deleting a subset of points. The pattern format is the same as that used by the group fields on SOP nodes that take point selections. Elements in the pattern are separated by spaces, and elements can be point numbers, point number ranges, or group names.

reparent: Bool

If set to True, performs a reparenting operation on the children of the deleted points to the original parents.

invertgroup: Bool

If set to True, deletes all the points that are outside the group. If set to False, deletes all the points that are within the group.

descendants: Bool

If set to True, deletes all the descendants of the points.

excludeselected: Bool

If set to True, excludes all the points within the group from the deletion action. This is useful if you want to delete the descendants of a subset of points but not the points themselves.

Outputs

*geo: Geometry

The geo input with the points removed.
