MeshEdit
by uto
Meshedit is a set of components which extend Grasshopper's ability to work with meshes.
included components:
utilities:
- Mesh from points
- Mesh cull unused vertices
- Mesh flip
- Mesh unify normals
- Mesh weld vertices with threshold
analysis:
- Mesh area
- Mesh volume
- Mesh explode
- Mesh convert quads to triangles
- Mesh add attributes
- Mesh extract attributes
- Mesh find naked edges
If you find anything else useful please let us know!
To install:
- In Grasshopper, choose File > Special Folders > Components folder. Save the gha file there.
- Right-click the file > Properties > make sure there is no "blocked" text
- Restart Rhino and Grasshopper

Dear Uto,
This seems like a fantastic set of components.
Can you please just clarify on what exactly does "Weld Vertices" component does - it culls the duplicate vertices inside of meshes? But shat causes having double vertices inside of meshes?
Thank you.
Dear Djordje,
Weld Vertices does as in every Mesh modeller software find Vertices in a certain threshold(defined with var t) and average there coordinates and reduces the found vertices to one. It also helps to close little holes in your geometry.
Thank you for the reply.
By the way Weld vertices, Mesh from points... along with some other Mesh Edit components are not native Grasshopper components?
How come I still have them in my Grasshopper (0.9.0014) even though I do not remember of installing the Mesh Edit plugin?
Danke.
Hi Djordje,
seems you have them somewhere at your system ;)
So there is no way of using these, without installing the Mesh Edit plugin first?
not really, otherwise you wouldn't have the components
thank you very a lot for this plugin, which is very cooperative.
Hi uto, a similar question site with David, I'm also honda jacket using a 64 bit rhino 5 wip and GH 0.8.0066, but no matter how, I just couldn't get this MeshEdit in my grasshopper. I managed to get Flowl in the extra column by porsche design jacket putting it into the component folder.
As instructed, I put the MeshEdit file in the special folder, component folder, but I ktm jackets still can't use it, it doesn't appear in the extra column.

Hi lee,
meshedit will not appear in the extra flyout!
this components are added directly in the mesh flyout
best
Hello, thank you very much for this plugin, which is very helpful.
Could you eventually in a the next release include operation to transform a mesh into surface or Brep. Indeed it will be very convenient to operate intersection between curve or surface.
thank you.
Hi marc,
could you explain what you expect for intersect curve or surfaces which is not yet possible?
There are ways to transform meshes into surfaces or Brep but you would have to start with low poly meshes to get good results when you enter the subdivision process.
Good afternoon.
Thank you for your reply
For now I have that : http://marcjohnson.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/structure-pour-stereoli...
Basically, I am trying to create thickness from a mesh import from mathematica (.STL). Indeed, I would like to realize a 3D printing.
I tried different operation with offset, planar surface, thicken mesh, But I am still not very confortable with those solution that seems to rely on non constructive solution.
They produce nice rendering but I would need real thickness to give to the machine. I am block now because I don't know how to produce tangible thickness for mesh. (I tried evolute but only the expensive PRO version run proper offset)
What would you recommend ?

Thank you very much and Happy New Year
Hi,
Does this version work OK with the latest 64bit WIP and version 0.8.0066 GH?
yes it is working well with rhino5 32bit/64bit and rhino4SR9
haha ,surprised,meet Jessesn at here ,I'm also a member of NCF.
