Import a mesh and automatiacally split it into its elements

Hi,

I’m looking for a way to import a mesh, either FBX or Datasmith with dataprep, which will upon import split the mesh into multiple meshes based on its elements. Basically seperate all elements of a mesh into its own unique static mesh.

I need this because I make procedural buildings in Railclone a lot and the resulting mesh is huge, far too big for the surface cache to catch.

Thanks.

Hi Thomas,

What happens when you uncheck ‘Combine Meshes’ on mesh import?

It’s already unchecked, so still comes in as a single mesh.

The “Split” option in Modeling Tools > Xform does exactly what I need - seperates each connected set of polygons into it’s own mesh. Is there a way you know of to build this into a Dataprep operator so it can run on an entire Datasmith import? I have some basic blueprint knowledge but not a lot.
