Working with Node Types

There are two distinctions amongst nodes: geometry nodes and control nodes.

Nodes in the geometry panel create geometry in the model view and they make up the majority of nodes available in OpenBuildings™ GenerativeComponents.

Control nodes from the Utility panel help you build, control, and analyze your model.

The control nodes, for example include:

DateTime
Expression
FunctionCall
Note
Slider
Watch

Note: A comprehensive overview of node types can be found in the Node Types dialog .
