Is there a way to get a mesh edge ID?

Hi, I am trying to get an edge ID for a mesh edge 1 shown on the screen shot, but no luck. The goal is use this ID to map my panel to a facade. I wonder if there is plugin or a battery can help me for this task?

Thanks a million in advance,

Hi Quan:

Thank you. I see your logic is to make a Grid planes, then use Orient component to map the panels into the facade. Brilliant. I will study it more.

I just start to learn GH recently and I have been curious of what kind of components could map an object from one place to another place. This Orient component definitely give me an new idea. I wonder if there is a website telling me all sorts of components do this “mapping” activity or not? Just curious.

My original question is to ask a way to find an edge ID, this is unresolved. I will post what I can find tomorrow or later date.

Hi @cmrhm2008,

Mesh topology edges do not have ids (GUIDS). You can acquire their index into the topology edge list if needed.
