The **Toolsets menu** brings together all the fundamental nodes you’ll use across your parametric workflows, from geometry creation to transformation and analysis, making it easy to build complex models step-by-step. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/vYnjL21x4S4WszSCKLPL4bTtlBXhO1T2VoxC8igj3eDejMjSJ1eaKySAvVr7rnEtmIApaXNAlen.png) ### **Offset Curve** **Offset Curve** creates a duplicate curve at a chosen distance, running parallel to the original. The node has 4 Input choices. - **Curve:** Curve to offset - **Side (Boolean):** Offset curve one side or two - **Offset Type:** Offset type can be only "Arc", "Tangent" or "Intersection". It is default "Arc". - **Distance:** Offset distance ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/SJ6I0sGjyBPVPygwt8wwvOzIV60JZtznKsOvv9rxYezmkNk6nLNlMlZcJOv5UayO6BFTCzt8VkK.png) > **Info:** **Offset Type** > Offset Type defines **how the gap between curve segments is handled** when an offset curve is generated. Different methods change the shape of corners or intersections during the offset. > > **Intersection:** Creates sharp, clean corners by extending offset segments until they intersect. _(Good for technical, crisp geometry.)_ > **Arc:** Fills the corner with a smooth, rounded arc. _(Best when you want soft, curved transitions.)_ > **Tangent:** > Maintains tangency between segments, producing a smooth but not necessarily circular corner. ### **Chamfer Curve** **Chamfer Curve** Cuts the corner between curve segments and replaces it with a straight, angled edge. ### **Join** **Join** Combines multiple curve pieces into one continuous curve. The output curve behaves like one single curve. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/exk2e3bl237dz68Vj6rSEvgC32v90KmauJQXKEi0R68KsSXSeT4LOlKBahdLJrTWR3Lsd31SgOa.png) ### **Explode Node** It breaks a curve into its individual curve segments. This allows you to work with each piece separately for editing, measuring, or further transformations. **Outputs:** - **Curves:** The curve is split into its independent curve segments. - **Points:** Returns the key points where segments connect, such as joints, ends, or transition points within the original curve. ### **Divide by Count** It places evenly spaced points along a curve based on the number of divisions you specify. The output ports give you: - **Points:** The exact division points created along the curve. - **Vectors:** Tangent vectors at each division point. - **Parameters:** Parameter values at division points. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/5tFDWsIKuUSERaPJyNVhfcLxvYZA73tS3fGXCVM4jw1O07sUKcSTqOg8S2EAvvAxC2gCCzKtTDV.png) ### **Divide by Length** **Divide by Length** splits a curve into equal-length segments. The output ports give you: - **Points:** The exact division points created along the curve. - **Vectors:** Tangent vectors at each division point. - **Parameters:** Parameter values at division points. ### **Divide by Distance** This node places points along the curve at a fixed spacing you specify. The output ports give you: - **Points:** The exact division points created along the curve. - **Vectors:** Tangent vectors at each division point. - **Parameters:** Parameter values at division points. ### **Contour** **Contour:** Creates evenly spaced section slices along or across a curve. ### **Shatter** **Shatter node** cuts a curve into multiple pieces at specific positions or parameters. ### **Connect with Curve** **Connect with Curve:** Generates a smooth connecting curve between two shapes or points. ### **Curve to Polyline** **Curve to Polyline:** Converts a smooth curve into a series of straight line segments. The output is the polygon as a result of those connected line segments. The input nodes comprise of: - **Curve:** Input Curve - **Tolerance:** Number of line segments to be formed i.e. Deviation tolerance - **Edge:** Optional segment length ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/uRjG8NQmag7VpMoUOWFCF4a9LR3ups2dZOEmnYkK2e1bZEI8G74WoE7ggtcnvLypTWnOMcSV1nf.png) ### **Dash Pattern** **Dash Pattern** applies a dashed appearance to the curve based on a pattern you set. **Input Port** - **Curve**: Curve to dash - **Number:** Define the dash and gap lengths **Output Port** - **Dashes:** Returns Dash segments - **Gaps:** Gives Gap segments ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/TkAqbOsheZP8NO8nJwCCykVVIe5Mb9gGsSAte9MaGyZ9ZTjb4tsHgJceAc0poMsLjupMYiTjkVL.png) ### **Perp Plane(s)** **Perp Plane** creates a single plane perpendicular to the curve at a chosen point. You can choose the **Parameter (t)** from input port at which you want to evaluate the plane. **Perp Planes:** Creates multiple perpendicular planes along the curve’s length. You can choose the number of Planes through **Count** input port. ### **Horizontal Plane(s)** **Horizontal Plane:** Creates a flat, horizontal (XY) plane at a point on the curve. You can choose the **Parameter (t)** from input port at which you want to evaluate the plane. **Horizontal Planes:** Creates several horizontal planes distributed along the curve. You can choose the number of Planes through **Count** input port. ### **Curve Plane(s)** **Curve Plane:** Generates a plane that aligns to the curve’s direction at a specific location. You can choose the **Parameter (t)** from input port at which you want to evaluate the plane. **Curve Planes:** Produces multiple curve-aligned planes along the curve. You can choose the number of Planes through **Count** input port. > **Info:** **Parameter {t} on Curve Domain to Evaluate.** > > Every curve in BeeGraphy has a **domain**, usually written as **t ∈ \[0, 1\]** or **t ∈ \[a, b\]**, depending on the curve’s construction. > The **parameter {t}** is simply a position **along the curve**, not a physical length but a _normalized coordinate_ that tells the node **where** to evaluate the curve. > > **t = 0** → the very start of the curve > **t = 0.5** → the midpoint of the curve > **t = 1** → the end of the curve > > When you input a **{t} value**, the node uses that exact parameter to compute outputs such as the point on the curve, tangent direction, or perpendicular plane. ### **Seam** **Seam** Changes the starting point of a closed curve to adjust mapping or orientation. ### **Rebuild Curve** **Rebuild Curve** Reconstructs the curve using new control points for smoother or cleaner shape control. **Numbe**r input node lets you decide the degree. (By Default its 3) ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/RWZi3tUsTuVE9KMwU0pbKX9GGYshoQivjF4rMM6o0iqxMvrcKWeFiyO1ENm5wTjKZIMfXgtvpy2.png) ### **Project Curve** **Project Curve** Projects the curve onto a geometry in a chosen direction. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/OLD6LDATSmFy3ZGKIsMDPlessdJBgn6AkrwoLBAbhRiM8fz6HreLR0yYZ2rrEOwdmA9wIQjw0Mo.png) ### **Cull Curves** **Cull Curves** Removes curves from a list based on filters or conditions you define. ### **Extend Curve** **Extend Curve** Lengthens the curve past its original endpoints. ### **Fillet Geometry** **Fillet Geometry** Creates a rounded, smooth transition between two edges or curves. **Radius input port allows you to define the radius of the Fillet.**To clearly see the final result, **hide the original geometry** so only the filleted output is visible. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/ZqVLnvNaQlEbkHz0QIBPNLDVING9rciaalg2VuROaNXUGLKrzqrqMI6i6ZlHXGJbeNgsdC2g6Zw.png) ### **Flip Geometry** **Flip Geometry:** Reverses the direction or orientation of the curve or geometry. ### **Geometry Reorient** **Geometry Reorient:** Moves and aligns geometry to match a new reference plane. ### **Chamfer Geometry** **Chamfer Geometry** creates a straight, angled cut between edges. To clearly see the final result, **hide the original geometry** so only the chamfered output is visible. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/FgdP4FKs185Zeso5U5ZQ4lK6LP5Ja8x3rcqHm41N3VdQhKPd1HqvjzJLV42bDpJFdQmU7s6J4r1.png) ### **Fillet Edged Geometry** **Fillet Edged Geometry** applies rounded fillets to all edges of a geometry object. To clearly see the final result, **hide the original geometry** so only the filleted output is visible. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gattachments/9y8RZuJbdUyX1Ab4ESEuqf7Htce8cXMj5uj9LkQnc04dtfjiugm2UtQwLZHo6CM5N1sNdSA00FU.png)
