Classify

Standalone node that exposes trait-based classification of assembly library entries.

The Classify node assigns trait values to assembly library entries, which determine where in the tree each assembly is placed by the downstream Assembly Decoration. The same capability is embedded in the decoration; the standalone Classify node is used when the classification needs to be a discrete pass. For the conceptual model of the trait system, see Traits.

Inputs

  • The output of an Assembly Resource (or another Classify node, for chained classification).

Outputs

Classified assembly library, plugged into the library input of an Assembly Decoration or another Classify node.

Modes / States

  • Classify gizmo. Press Enter to enter the interactive viewport state. The viewport shows a graph (2D for two traits, higher-dimensional for more) with each library entry as a draggable point. Dragging a library entry along a trait axis redistributes its placement on the tree visibly in close to real time.

Notes

  • Grouping. Dragging multiple library entries as a group on the trait graph is planned.
  • Fuzzy thresholds. Limiting selection to entries within a defined attribute range rather than always picking the closest match is planned.
