Hello,  
I want to create each triangular surface from ConvecHull.ByPoints.  
That’s why I want to divide these lines into groups of triangles.  
Does anyone know how to do that?

Hello,

Do you have the MeshToolkit 3.0.0 package installed?

The node ConvexHull.ByPoints has a yellow color, which means it gives you an error.  
If you click on the icon above the node it will give the error  
What does it say?

This error is a work scope error.  
I don’t think there is any particular problem with the error.

I’m using Dynamo in Civil 3D.  
I referred to the link above, but I don’t have a “Topography.ByPoints” node for Revit.

Eventually I want to create a solid from this Convex Hull and calculate the volume.  
Is there any good way?

I’m sorry, I was able to solve it myself.  
In this way.

The error is Geometry Working Range.  
I thought it was an error that I didn’t have to worry about.
