Delete horizontal edges or do loopcuts in geo nodes

[paulocrincev (Paulo Henrique Crincev)]

Hello!

I’m trying to do a simple thing that i can do in traditional way but in geometry nodes, and i’m having too much trouble. I was researching for it but i didn’t find out. I watched some videos about indexes, but some things didn’t make sense to me.

Here it is.

I’m trying to do this steel trusses procedurally:

So i was trying to make a base poly mesh that i can edit easy in the viewport, make some cuts, triangulate, convert it to curve and do a profile curve like an iron bar like this:

There is a way to delete this lines after subdivide or just do loop cut inside a base mesh in geo nodes? Maybe I’m thinking wrong the way to do that?

So, if anyone can help me to understand it, i’ll apreciate

Hello, there are multiple ways to do this, but instead of removing the loops, I would simply assemble the curves.

ps: when you really need to use your approach, you can see simple setup below:

wow, thank you very much.

This solve my problem and i like both ways you came to the solution for this. I confess its confusing to me yet about the way you manipulate the vertex and edges, i need to study more about it.

But i think the first way is more friendly to work, sometimes i think in the traditional way but there is more inteligent ways to do it in geo nodes.

Thanks again!
