Wires To Points
In this short beginner-friendly tutorial, you will learn how to divide wires into multiple points using the powerful OCCT (OpenCascade) components available in the Rete visual programming editor.
Guided by Matas Ubarevicius, this tutorial offers a step-by-step approach to working with wires, making it ideal for those new to visual programming or looking to enhance their 3D modeling skills.
We’ll begin by introducing some of the most useful OCCT components that allow you to divide a wire based on parameters. You’ll learn how to divide a wire by equal distances or place points along it based on specific lengths. This tutorial will also cover more advanced methods, including using length patterns for point extraction, which gives you greater control and precision in your designs.
Throughout the tutorial, we’ll explore key techniques such as how to extract points at given lengths along a wire and how to make use of various wire division strategies to customize your workflow. Whether you’re working on 3D models for engineering, design, or architecture, these tools will be invaluable.
By the end of the video, you’ll have a strong understanding of wired point extraction within the Rete editor. You’ll also gain access to example scripts that you can find in the public projects section of the platform, enabling you to experiment and build upon what you’ve learned. This tutorial is perfect for both beginners and more experienced users looking to deepen their knowledge of OpenCascade in visual programming.
Be sure to watch through to the end to fully master these techniques and bring your wire-based 3D projects to life!

Decompose Solid
10 minIn this tutorial, we’ll take a reverse approach to understanding OCCT (OpenCascade) solid composition by breaking it down into its core components. Sometimes the best way to learn how things are created is by decomposing them into consistent parts.
Wires To Points
8 minIn this short beginner-friendly tutorial, you will learn how to divide wires into multiple points using the powerful OCCT (OpenCascade) components available in the Rete visual programming editor.
Lofting Wires
15 minIn this short tutorial, Matas Ubarevičius walks you through the most important aspects of the loft command in Rete editor, which generates free-form surfaces from multiple wires. This powerful algorithm allows you to create smooth, complex geometry quickly.
Extrude Shapes
8 minIn this tutorial, you'll learn how to extrude different types of shapes using the OCCT category in the Rete editor on the Bitbybit platform. Matas Ubarevicius will guide you through the key steps for extruding various shapes and explain how different inputs affect the output.
Variable Radius Fillets
8 minIn this short tutorial, you'll learn how to apply variable radius fillets to the edges of an OCCT shape. You'll use JSON editors and other advanced components from our Rete editor to accomplish this.
