Mesh Lines - Horizontal and Vertical Edges

(09-19-2020, 04:59 PM)_Aka_ Wrote: Using Unity's API, you can get the list of vertices and triangles of that mesh. From that, you can produce the list of lines making your mesh. Via dot product (or other means), you can deduce what lines are horizontal or vertical.
To get vertices : CGVMesh.Vertex.To get triangles CGVMesh.SubMeshes.Triangles
Examples of "other means": check the value of Vector3.Angle(Vector3.up, yourVector)

I'm kinda looking for something like what Procedural Primitive has done with his example:  Below is his code for making a cylinder..

public List<Edge> edgesV = new List<Edge>();    //vertival edges

protected void CreateCylinder(Vector3[] pDown, Vector3[] pUp, Vector3 centerDown, Vector3 centerUp, int seg, bool generateUV, Vector2 uvOffset, Vector2 uvTiling, bool flip, bool smooth)
        {
            if (smooth)

Do you have more detailed documentation of how the Generators internals work?
There no step by step guide explaining how to create custom modules, but information is scattered between:
  • Documentation about Curvy Generators: https://curvyeditor.com/documentation/generator/start
  • API reference for classes in the Generator namespace: https://api.curvyeditor.com/710/namespace_fluffy_underware_1_1_curvy_1_1_generator.html
  • Comments you will find in the automatically generated CG module through Project's window→Create→Curvy→CG Module
Basically you will need to set the inputs and outputs of your module to the right data type, and set the code for your logic in the Refresh method.
Sorry for not having some simplified guide ready, but I believe it is not very difficult to make a simple module based on the above information.
Let me know if you have any specific question regarding this subject.

About your other post, I will answer it a bit later.
Please consider leaving a review for Curvy. This will help a lot keeping Curvy relevant in the eyes of the Asset Store algorithm.

Untested code, but even if it is bugged, you get the idea.
Add this code in the CGVMesh class, and then call public method where appropriate
Code:
public struct Edge
        {
            public Vector3 a;
            public Vector3 b;
            public Edge(Vector3 p1, Vector3 p2)
            {
                a = p1; b = p2;
            }
        }

        public IEnumerable<Edge> GetHorizontalAndVerticalLines()
        {
            var result = new List<Edge>();
            foreach (CGVSubMesh subMesh in SubMeshes)
            {
                for (var i = 0; i < subMesh.Triangles.Length; i++)
                {
                    int triangleStart = subMesh.Triangles[i];

                    TryAddEdge(Vertex[triangleStart + 0], Vertex[triangleStart + 1], result);
                    TryAddEdge(Vertex[triangleStart + 1], Vertex[triangleStart + 2], result);
                    TryAddEdge(Vertex[triangleStart + 2], Vertex[triangleStart + 0], result);
                }
            }

            return result;
        }

        private static void TryAddEdge(Vector3 position1, Vector3 position2, List<Edge> result)
        {
            var direction = position1 - position2;

            if (Vector3.Angle(direction, Vector3.up) < 0.01f || Vector3.Angle(direction, Vector3.right) < 0.01f)
            {
                result.Add(new Edge(position1, position2));
            }
        }

Same logic would work on instances of type Mesh, while using the appropriate members (see my previous posts about that)
I tested horizontal and vertical by testing the angle against 0, but handle the potalso the cases of 180 and -180

            }
        }

Thank you for the code, will try it.
