ComfyUI Node: Save Mesh

Save Mesh:

The GeomPackSaveMesh node is designed to facilitate the process of saving 3D mesh data to a file, making it an essential tool for AI artists working with geometric data. This node is part of the ComfyUI-GeometryPack, which provides a suite of tools for analyzing, visualizing, and manipulating 3D meshes. The primary function of the GeomPackSaveMesh node is to export mesh data, potentially enriched with additional analysis fields, to a specified file format. This capability is crucial for preserving the results of mesh analyses, such as boundary vertices, connected components, or self-intersections, allowing for further use in other applications or for archival purposes. By using this node, you can ensure that your mesh data, along with any computed attributes, is accurately saved and easily accessible for future projects.

Save Mesh Input Parameters:

mesh

The mesh parameter represents the 3D mesh data that you wish to save. This input is crucial as it contains the geometric and possibly topological information that you have worked on or analyzed. The mesh can include additional fields resulting from various analyses, such as boundary vertices or self-intersections, which are essential for detailed geometric studies. There are no specific minimum or maximum values for this parameter, as it depends on the complexity and size of the mesh you are working with.

file_path

The file_path parameter specifies the location and name of the file where the mesh data will be saved. This parameter is vital because it determines where the output file will be stored on your system. The path should be a valid directory and filename, ensuring that the file can be accessed or shared as needed. There are no inherent restrictions on the file path, but it should conform to your operating system's file naming conventions.

Save Mesh Output Parameters:

success

The success parameter is a boolean value that indicates whether the mesh saving operation was successful. A value of true means that the mesh was saved without any issues, while false indicates that there was a problem during the saving process. This output is important for confirming that your data has been correctly exported and is ready for use.

filename

The filename parameter provides the name of the file where the mesh was saved. This output is useful for verifying the exact file that contains your exported mesh data, especially when working with multiple files or versions.

Save Mesh Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the file_path is correctly specified and points to a valid directory to avoid file saving errors.
• Before saving, verify that the mesh includes all necessary analysis fields if you intend to preserve specific attributes for future use.

Save Mesh Common Errors and Solutions:

Unknown analysis type: <analysis_type>

• Explanation: This error occurs when an unsupported analysis type is specified during the mesh analysis process.
• Solution: Double-check the analysis type you are using and ensure it matches one of the supported types, such as "open_edges," "components," or "self_intersect."

File path not found

• Explanation: This error indicates that the specified file path does not exist or is inaccessible.
• Solution: Verify that the directory specified in the file_path parameter exists and that you have the necessary permissions to write to it.
