Gradual Selection

[aphextwin]

Is it possible to perform a gradual selection on a mesh with python? I couldn?t find something in the reference :-/

Hi,

Same question here.

We use multi-frame chunks.
For a single frame, we can manually use this to clean geometry :
-Edit-->Gradual Selection-->Connected component size-->Level 95%
-Delete selected.

But we have a lot of frames, it would be very tedious to do it manually.
Is there a way to use python for this ?

Thanks.

Hello,

Unfortunately, such options are not yet supported.

Thanks.

Arggll, 1500 frames by hand (1 minute of final movie)...

Hello alainfx,

Probably, we will implement the access to connected components filtering via Python in the upcoming update. However, there will be a max number of faces in the component and not percentage as an argument.

Thanks !

Hello alainfx,

Please check the new build 1812 and chunk.model.removeComponents() method. As argument it should be given threshold number of faces for the connected components.

Excellent, thanks !
