Heron ImportVector Component

Hi, I noticed that the Import Vector component is only importing geometry as meshes. Is there a way to change the output to a polysurface or polyline without having to run a mesh to nurbs command after the geometry is baked? It looks like older versions of this component had this included, any reason it was changed?

Hi @Ray12 ,

Import Vector will import polygons from a GIS data source as meshes. It has been this way as long as I can remember. One way to avoid importing meshes is by selecting “Output points only” from the menu. This will import the vertexes of the polygons as a data tree that you can then use the PolyLine and Boundary Surfaces components to create nurbs surfaces.
