Using only visible control points

Grasshopper
1

Hi there,

I’m working with a large mesh and am trying to make my computer faster.

I’m trying to do slope and contour analysis whilst soft-transforming the mesh. The smaller the mesh for analysis, the better.

To keep things fast, I’m only editing a portion of the mesh, and hiding the rest of the control points. I’m wondering if it’s possible for grasshopper to recognise all the non-hidden control points, and dump them into a geometry container for further analysis?

Suggestion, just cut off a small part of the mesh using : Mesh Difference
That will give you a small mesh to work with.

Moving the “cutting mesh” around to the spot you want to analyze will “make it a kind of magnifying glass”

Mesh intersection seems to work like a charm thank you :slightly_smiling_face:
