Expand by Connectivity

Author: Ian Rivard

 

Description:

This script allows the user to grow the current group outwards by connected elements. It is similar to Group Grow No Fastener, however, it grows the group by any connected elements. It does this for one layer outward per run, however if the user runs multiple times in a row the script will ask how many iterations you wish to go.

This tool was inspired by a PATRAN utility (Group Extend) with similar functionality.

 

Use Instructions:

activate a group with some elements in it and run the tool, it will grow the group bo one layer of connected elements.

 

Requirements:

An active group with elements in it.
