Use this when you want to separate the first, middle, and last items of a list within a flow, for example isolating endpoints and interior points of a vertex list.
Inputs
This node runs in Transform mode by default, so its settings come from the paired Transform node through the T connector. You can't wire a value straight into a single setting. To drive one setting from your flow, override it with a Write Property node between the Transform node and T, or switch this node to Exposed Inputs to get a connector for each setting.
Name | Abbreviation | Type | Access | Description |
Input | I | Feature | Item | The input data |
Transform | T | Object | Item | Transform controls (overridden by individual parameters) |
Outputs
Name | Abbreviation | Type | Access | Description |
Middle | M | Object | List | The middle output |
Start | S | Object | List | The start output |
End | E | Object | List | The end output |
How to:
Feed in a transform with an array of outputs
Add the strip node and strip transform
Click “edit defaults” to set the starting values
Edit the settings and outputs in Properties
Strip settings
The strip transform automatically adds properties to the properties palette.
Define start count and end count
Strip Outputs
The outputs of strip are start, middle, and end
M[] - the leftover items
S[] - the start count items
E[] - the end count items
In this example, the first/last are recolored to demonstrate how the list is divided with strip
