GIVEN: MeshBox with X,Y,Z counts == 6,6,6 for example and further given that the faces and/or sub-faces are subsequently deformed to create a prospective building shell.

QUESTION 1: Does Rhino 8 provide a way to automatically generate a Bill of Materials (BOM) derived by grouping identical faces|sub-faces and enumerating their quantity and dimensional information in order that each of the faces/subfaces can be fabricated as e.g. Structural Insulated panels (SIP) ?

Hi Pascal:
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Sorry to hear such a capability does not yet exist for your architectural customer base.
Guess they have to do it manually.
QUESTION 2: Is there an API into RHINO from which the necessary information could be derived?
