FJsam Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hello, I wanted to remove the unshared edges and keep all the inner edges so I can use polywire later to make tube shapes from them, the thing is dissolve removes the whole thing ,even if i select the unshared edges group. Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibotatar Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hi. you can use "Convert Line" node to make curves from your edges and then blast the unwanted curves as you already have a group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobini Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) simply tick Create Curves when Dissolving Boundary in your dissolve Edited March 4, 2020 by Noobini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonMetal Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 What if I want to keep all the unshared edges but blast away (delete) the rest of the mesh ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziyad Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 @CinnamonMetal Similar to what ibotatar mentioned above, on the convert line node set the group to your unshared edges and tick "remove unused points". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a group sop with unshared edges toggled on and that is selecting all the opened group edges in the mesh. Although the convertline sop is not taking those edges which were created by the group sop and isolating just those group edges when used with the blast node sop on the group.

How was your edges group created? Make sure your group type is set to edges, then in the convert line node just choose that group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the Group SOP with; unshared edges toggled on but if I blast the group away those edges of those holes in the mesh are not kept.

Or at least a screenshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedeks2999 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Append a GroupTransfer Node at the end Seems to work fine ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonMetal Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I've attached two screen shots, one of them is what the whole looks like from a view on the mesh that is readable; the second is the network graph which I'm getting the unshared edges. I want to keep the unshared edges but the rest of the mesh blast away. Although without blasting away the edges of the unshared edges only the mesh but keeping the unshared edges.
