Supports
Manages support mesh generation along the pipe. Supports can be spaced at fixed intervals, placed per loop mesh, or disabled. Includes roll control, surface tracing, and randomization options.
Distribution methods
Default: Spacing
- None: No supports generated.
- Loop: Places one support per loop mesh. Position controlled via Loop Support Position Min Max.
- Spacing: Evenly distributes supports along the spline at fixed controllable intervals, automatically avoiding corners.
Spacing with 160 units
Loop with 0.25 and 0.75 range
Support Variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Support Spacing | 160.0 | Distance between supports in Spacing mode. Note: Minimum value is clamped to 5.0. |
| Loop Support Position Min Max | (0.25, 0.75) | Normalized (0–1) placement range along each loop mesh. X = minimum, Y = maximum. |
| Support Probability | 100.0 | Percentage chance (0–100%) of support placement at valid locations. |
| Support Mesh Selection | RandomOnce | Determines which static mesh asset will be selected. • RandomOnce: A single mesh is chosen at random and used for all supports. • Random: A mesh is randomly selected per support instance. • Manual: Uses mesh specified by Mesh Index. |
| Support Roll Angle | 0.0 | Uniform roll rotation applied to all support meshes (degrees). |
| Support Flip Yaw | true | Randomly applies 180° yaw rotation for visual variety. |
Support Trace Variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Support Trace Method | None | Controls surface detection at support positions. • None: No surface detection. • Trace: Performs collision trace in support-facing direction. • Trace Debug: Same as Trace, with visual debug output. |
| Support Trace Scale | 1.0 | Scale multiplier for trace extents. Note: Minimum value is clamped to 0.05. |
| Support Trace Channel | Visibility | Trace collision channel. |
| Flip Trace Direction | false | Reverses trace direction (default is downward, negative Z). |
