Disc

An annular disc surface with a chosen center, inner and outer radius and normal direction, which can be wired in as a 3-element array.

Inputs

None.

Added from the Parameters pane (⊕). While connected, each drives its parameter.

Port	Accepts	Mode	Description
`center` Center	primitive(array) dataset(stack) dataset(surface)	opt-in	center position; overrides the center parameter while connected
`normal` Normal	primitive(array)	opt-in	Normal as a 3-element array, read in the current direction frame; overrides the Normal row while connected
`inner`	primitive(number)	opt-in drives `inner`	Drives the Inner parameter while connected
`outer`	primitive(number)	opt-in drives `outer`	Drives the Outer parameter while connected
`r_res`	primitive(number)	opt-in drives `r_res`	Drives the R Resolution parameter while connected
`c_res`	primitive(number)	opt-in drives `c_res`	Drives the C Resolution parameter while connected
