Selecting vertical faces

Good morning everyone,

I have a problem continuing a code in Grasshopper. In particular, once I have obtained the mass of the tower and divided it between outer (red) and inner (green) surfaces, I need to select only the vertical faces of the outer skin (the red one). This is in order to be able to model the openings of the faces and subsequently the mullions of the windows and doors.

I attach the file for a better understanding of the problem.

HK_SDP_REV03.3dm (1.0 MB)
HK_SDP_REV03.gh (18.1 KB)

Attaching files is very important indeed, but if I can’t understand a thread from a written description with appropriate images, the chances are very high that a game a 20 questions will follow. Not fun!

Indeed you are a little vague. I am guessing that FROM the red surfaces, you want to select the subset of vertical ones.
If that is the case, you can compare their normal with the z uint and use the result as a culling pattern.

edit:
the attached Rhino file had nothing relevant to your question.
try to only post the grasshopper file with only the relevant geometry, and when you want to include some geometry from rhino use “internalize data”.

Forgive me for the lack of clarity, I am new to the blog and have yet to be ‘educated’. :sweat_smile: I will certainly try to be more complete next time and also attach pictures to support my question. Thank you very much Aris, your reply solved my problem (I ticked the Solution box).
