Hello, I am trying to fin the intersection between a generic model (which is a surface, created with another modelling program and exported through IFC) with a Structural Foundation Pile. I tried using the node Geometry.Intersect but I get a warning. What is the best approach to do this? My goal i…

I got it. Here’s how i did it: I obtained the (x,y) coordinates of the insertion point of the structural foundation pile (I got the centroid coordinates of this solid, but I could have used the Element.GetLocation node). Then I created a line starting at (x,y,0) and ending at (x,y,-40) and obtained…

try this geometry intersect uses geometry, use element.geometry before the intersect node it might not work with imported geometry tho (haven’t tested it)

Thank you @Marcel_Rijsmus The Generic Model surface imported returns two meshes, I don’t know why, though it should return just one, that must be the reason why I am getting the warning. [image]

maybe you can use get item at index to try one from your list, then the other one

I’m not sure, but seems like this node does not allow intersection with mesh geometry [image]

have a look here [image] Convert Watertight Mesh to Solid I am interested in converting a watertight mesh (Toolkit Mesh) to a solid. I have searched the forum and only found methods for converting topography-like meshes to solids using thickening in the downward directio…

please keep you questions in this topic so people can find them. To use the mesh nodes you have to install the package MeshToolkit

I tried obtaining the mesh and also to assign it the Topography category. But I don’t understand why the nodes are not accepting this mesh/topography as input when they ask for a mesh/topography. [image]

maybe go back a few steps and try from the element.geometry node (the second node from the start) to use Solid.ByJoinedSurfaces (input is your meshes)

Solid.ByJoinedSurfaces wants Surfaces as input, so it does not work with my mesh :frowning: [image]
