# Geometry Node Naming and Placement

### Document Purpose
* Node Renaming: Move nodes to a "verb first" format
* Menu structure discussion

*Use comments for notes*
*Do not use the auto formatting in the header, it makes it harder to read*
### Node Type Column
A basic function of the node to help with determining how it could/should be organized. See the bottom of the document for descriptions of this type.

### Name Column
? - Suggested Change
⟫ - Planned Change
⁂ - Approved Change
✓ - Completed

### New Menu
Proposed new placement for this node in the menu

## Definitions

Node Types:
- Action: Performs an action on the input, mutates it, but is the same type afterwards
- Generate: Creates new geometry data
- Input: Creation of new non-geometry data to the tree, Attribute read, or derived information
- Setter: Attribute write
- Select: Creates a selection field based on an attribute or other data
- Conversion: Convert one data type to another analogous form with little to no alteration
- Utility: Other non-data related actions such as displaying, grouping, and program interface
