VEX selecting border edges

[davidyannick]

Is there a way in vex to select border edges of a cube ?

Thanks

What do you mean with border edges? In my opinion a cube doesnt have border-edges, while a grid has. The edges that isnt connected to any other geometry. But if you mean border edges like the hard angle, thats something different. Both are doable in vex, but different aproaches.

Yes I mean edges

Set a normal node to 'points' and put this in an attribute wrangle:

if( max( abs(v@N) ) < 0.9 ){
    int nbs[] = neighbours(0, @ptnum);
    foreach(int nb; nbs){
        if(nb > @ptnum){
            vector nml = point(0, 'N', nb);
            setedgegroup(0, 'outer_edges', @ptnum, nb, max(abs(nml)) < 0.9);
        }
    }
}
