I'm working with an architectural model FBX that was handed to me by a client. Unfortunately, the instances are merged into a single mesh. I'd like to find a way to recognize repeating meshes and replace them with instances in Houdini.

I discovered the Find Instances [www.sidefx.com] node. From the sound of it, it seems to do what I'm looking for but I have not been able to get it to work.

Can someone take a look at the HIP file I am sending here? If my understanding is correct, I should be able to get instance points from a merged piece of geometry using this node. Please correct me if I am mistaken.

Thanks!
