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
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Label | The display name for the node. |
Group | The group of shapes to extract points from. If empty, all shapes are used. |
Offset | Offset position from the calculated anchor point |
Placement options
Determines where the point is generated relative to the input shape's bounding box.
| Placement | Description |
|---|---|
Center | Creates a point at the geometric center of the shape. |
Top left / Center / Right | Creates a point along the top edge of the bounding box. |
Middle left / Right | Creates a point along the vertical center of the bounding box edges. |
Bottom left / Center / Right | Creates a point along the bottom edge of the bounding box. |
