Remove small disconnected parts of mesh.

[artfletch]

Hi,

Please can we have an option to remove all small disconnected/floating parts of a mesh so that only the part with most triangles remains?

This would help with cleaning up meshes that have little extra blobs detached from the main part that I want to use.

Currently I do this in Maya using the 'extract' tool and deleting all the little bits of separated meshes.

Many thanks
Dave

Hello Dave,

If you switch the model view to shaded/solid/wireframe/textured display mode and then open Model Menu -> Gradual Selection -> Connected Components criterion, you'll be able to select the isolated mesh components according to their size.

Thank you kindly for the excellent suggestion. I'll give that a try.

Many thanks
Dave
