Profile origin is on the curve, +X goes to the "right" in curve direction, -Y goes "up" in curve direction. Only thing you don't know is probably in which direction the curve goes when you convert a mesh (like the plane in your example) into a curve. But I'd say along the indices of the vertices (can't test it now). | |
| Feb 19, 2023 at 20:11 | comment | added | rothloup | @GordonBrinkmann: ok, thanks for that clarification. so...the question remains - how does XY orientation work with the Curve to Mesh node? | |
| Feb 19, 2023 at 16:19 | comment | added | Gordon Brinkmann | The post you've linked to which states that +Y will become +Z (curve local, not global) is correct. In the question and answer they are talking about using a curve as profile in the Geometry > Bevel > Object settings of the curve's Object Data Properties. You are talking about using the Curve to Mesh node in Geometry Nodes - they don't work the same. | |
