Hello, I was hoping someone could tell me if I can access and modify the edge attributes such as bevel weight, sharp and seam.
Thanks in advance.
Currently, you cannot bevel or seam. You cannot mark sharp either, but there is an edge split node that can emulate the effect of sharp shading.
Thanks for the reply. I wonder if it’s something planned for the near future or if I should change my approach.
I had hoped to make edge geometry on the right from base geometry like this on the left
My method involves using the bevel weight to vary the width of the final geometry but because I couldn’t access in GN I have to convert to mesh and run a python script on the object to randomly assign edge bevel weighting. Not ideal because then the pipeline is destructive.
Maybe I need to work out how to modify the geometry in GM

Eventually, edge attributes could be added. I imagine they will by the time this task is complete: https://developer.blender.org/T84297
For now, I don’t think what you are trying is possible.
What you would need, is a wireframe node that takes an attribute as thickness input. Then you could simply randomize it.

Hey everyone, would anyone know how I could go about using the switch node based on distance? I would love to set up a large shot and using it for a LOD effect.
But I also heard that the switch node is calculating both geometries anyway at the moment but I’m not so sure how true that is.
the switch node calculating both sides issue was recently fixed, so it should be more optimized.
Here’s a basic switch by camera distance setup:

Thats amazing! Thank you. The power of this combined with adaptive subdivision and instancing of objects will be really cool for large scenes.
I upgraded my catenary curve generator to do something a bit more useful: string lights!
The mesh to curve node was critical for this to get the bulb instancing working right, instancing works well with collections including a point light, and interaction is pretty fluid in eevee

I wonder, would this technique be useful for creating procedural rope bridges?
Certainly seems possible, there might be some tricky bits with getting the planks to align with the base curve, but I think it could probably be done with what we have now. If not now, it definitely will be possible with a few more months of geo nodes development.
You’ve got my gears turning now. I’ll definitely be giving that a shot.

I like this guy already 
The Node Wrangler addon works with Geometry Nodes!

Absolute godsend if it makes it in!
What happens when you “pull” the string longer than the specified length?
It turns into a line! The lights are spaced by distance, so it starts growing more lights as you go. If you drag it out really far, you can see the limited number of lights eevee can use at once, only the last 100 lights work (but the bulb mesh has an emissive material, so it is still visually glowing, even if it isn’t casting light into the scene.)

There’s no curve tilt yet ? that’s what it’s supposed to be for
