Hi,

how can I convert this block into brep or mesh? i do eplodeblock but my laptop crashes and i use explode and I get block, surface and meshes
tree.3dm (2.3 MB)

thanks in advance

Hi Albert - I’d use Explode to get down to just the meshes. Use SelColor to select (thousands) meshes of the same color and Join. In the end you should have 6 disjoint meshes. It makes a very large file, for one tree…

thanks a lot.

it says to me when I use selcolor no object added to selection

could you please send me what you get?

because what i need it is transfor the block which contains braches and leaves into meshes

6

i had already the meshes in one layer and connected to a mesh com`ponent

Hi Albert:
ExplodeBlock

Then, Select one mesh object from the result > SelColor > Join. Hide the result. Repeat with another mesh object.

thanks a lot for your patient. done. but how can I convert that block instances into brep or meshes to use in energy simulations?

Hi Albert - I am not sure I follow. The block contains thousands of meshes - ExplodeBlock will return all of those meshes. The SelColor and Join is simply to reduce the number of meshes.

if i create a mesh and I select “set multiple meshes” and I select the block instances I cannot get in the component

Hi Albert - if you are working in Grashopper, please post the question on the GH forum.
