Round

Specifies the type of modify operation to do: Round, Invert, Shell, Elongate, Twist, Bend, Repeat, Limited Repeat, Repeat Polar, Mirror, Extrude2D, Revolve2D.

If Operation = Round
Rounding rounding 0 Sets how much rounding to apply.
If Operation = Shell or Extrude2D
Thickness thickness 0.1 Sets the thickness of the operation.
If Operation = Elongate
Elongate elongate x = 0, y = 1, z = 0 Sets the values for the amount to elongate the shape.
If Operation = Twist or Bend or Repeat Polar
Angle angle 0 Sets the angle of the operation.
If Operation = Repeat
Repeat repeat x = 0.5, y = 0.5, z = 0.5 Sets the values of the repeat operation.
If Operation = Limited Repeat
Repeat repeat x = 0.5, y = 0.5, z = 0.5 Sets the values of the repeat operation.
Limit limit x = 1, y = 1, z = 1 Sets when to stop the repeat operation.
If Operation = Revolve2D
radius radius 0 Sets the radius of the operation.
Display Tab
Draw Bounding Box preview_bounds Unchanged

Draw the bounding box of the field if it has one.

Select between On, Off, and Unchanged. Unchanged means that this option is inherited from nodes above it in the node graph. By inheriting On or Off from above, this means this setting only needs to be edited in one node to affect the display across all Field nodes in the node graph.

Draw Preview preview_on Unchanged

Draw a rough preview of the field.

Select between On, Off, and Unchanged. Unchanged means that this option is inherited from nodes above it in the node graph. By inheriting On or Off from above, this means this setting only needs to be edited in one node to affect the display across all Field nodes in the node graph.

Opacity preview_opacity 1 The opacity at which to draw the preview.
Scale preview_scale 1 A value by which the field is multiplied before drawing. You may need to increase this to display faint volumes for example.
Offset preview_offset 0 A value added to the field before drawing (after scaling).
Detail preview_detail 1 The detail level at which the preview is drawn. Large values are more accurate but slower to draw.
