Modifying solids

“

- [Instructor] Now that we've constructed a few solids in our workspace, let's explore some of the nodes that allow us to make adjustments and perform analysis on the solid geometry elements in our dynamo graph. We began this exercise with two polygons, which who then translated vertically, rotated about their origins, then added to a list and lofted together. I'm going to go ahead and turn off the geometry preview on the polygons. We're not going to need those for this example. Let's begin with two functions that are used to modify the edges of solids, fillet and chamfer. We can find both of those nodes in the geometry, solids, solid section of the node library. Let's drop one of each of them onto our workspace. Both of these nodes will be used to modify the edges of any solids that we plug in as inputs. Fillet will take the edges of a solid and round them according to the radius that we set. Chamfer is similar, but instead of rounding the edges, it'll cut away at the edge by an…
