I'm taking a grid, seperating out the prims and extruding the faces. If I use a partitian sop before the extrude I can create a group for each prim by putting grid_$PR in the Rule parameter.
When I extrude the prims, the groups go away.
Is there an easy way to group objects based on volume? Each closed shape needs to be its' own seperate group.
Any ideas?
Groups based on volume?

Hey the_squid,
After the Grid SOP, I appended an Extrude SOP & turned on “Consolidate Faces to Mesh”. Next, I appened a Connectivity SOP, set the Connectivity Type to “Primitives” & set the Attribute & Local Variable to “connect” or any name you like.
Finally, I appended a Partition SOP & set the Rule to be “blocks_$connect” & each extruded block is now a group which you can read into DOPs.
Cheers!
