Nodes Extract Center

Parameters

Select a node to edit its parameters.

Extract Center node converts input shapes into Point clouds containing a single point per shape.

Unlike a simple centroid calculation, this node allows you to choose specific anchor locations relative to the shape’s bounding box, such as corners or edge midpoints. It preserves the input shape’s attributes (like rotation and custom data) on the generated points.

Parameters

ParameterDescription
LabelThe display name for the node.
GroupThe group of shapes to extract points from. If empty, all shapes are used.
OffsetOffset position from the calculated anchor point

Placement options

Determines where the point is generated relative to the input shape’s bounding box.

PlacementDescription
CenterCreates a point at the geometric center of the shape.
Top left / Center / RightCreates a point along the top edge of the bounding box.
Middle left / RightCreates a point along the vertical center of the bounding box edges.
Bottom left / Center / RightCreates a point along the bottom edge of the bounding box.
