Join Nick Kloski for an in-depth discussion in this video Generate Face Groups, part of Meshmixer: Function and Command Reference.
- [Instructor] This video…is on the generate face groups command.…Face groups are terribly useful inside of Meshmixer.…This tool automatically creates face groups…on an entire model all at once.…That may be useful to you,…or you may want to define your own face groups,…but this is a way of creating them all at once.…I have just imported a plane here.…You go File to Import Plane.…Then, hit the select tool,…and just kind of select a region inside of here.…Then I hit the D key, D for extrude.…
Just kind of pop this up a little bit.…Clear the selection.…If I hit wire frame, it's a very regular mesh,…and I don't really want that for this example.…So, I'm going to go into Sculpt to the draw brush,…and then just paint a little bit on the bottom here,…just on one side.…There we go.…Now hit W to turn off wire frame.…Now let's get to the tool.…Let's go to Edit, to Generate Face Groups.…You have a couple of different options here,…edge and normal,…angle threshold and size threshold.…
You can see that, let's rotate a little bit around.…
