There is also the Option included to hide knots with two edges or to scale knots and edges.

Pro-Vertex-Radius (PVR)

Use the PVR option to manually scale knots or/and edges. Just set a bevel-weight for each vertex of the source wireframe. The bevel-weights will act as a scaling factor.

Setting bevel-weight:

The knots and/or edges will be scaled:

Note

Bevel-weights are set to 0.0 if you dont change them. A bevel-weight of 0.0 will fully hide the knot.

Hide knots with two edges

To hide knots with only two edges choose this option. In the following picture you can see the effect.

Radius/Resolution

The resolution and the radius of the knots and edges are easy adjustable through the GUI options.

Smooth shading

For a nice smooth look of the Knots & Edges, please checkmark the Smooth-Shading button.

Import and Export ‘.dmh’-files

You can import and export ‘.dmh’-files with this AddOn. Just use the file-menu:

Note

Exporting a dmh-object will always use the actual data stored in the AddOn-options. Because of that, this AddOn will always export the last created dmh-object.

Just create a json-file and use the following file-structure in case you want to create your own ‘.dmh’-file without exporting a dmh-object:
