How to count topological different meshes

Hi to all,

does anybody know whether it is possible to count the different meshes (triangles, quad-meshes, pentagon, hexagon, and so on...) of a grid that was made of multiple lines on a surface?

Thank you!! :-)

Hi Manuel,

You have a mesh created of faces with different number of vertices, and you want to see how many of which kind of those you have, and of what kind (number of vertices)?
Is that's so, try this:

Sorry if I misunderstood you.

Thank you Djordje for your answer.

The problem is that i don't have a mesh - I just have a nurbs surface with multiple lines on it.

So I dont know if it is possible to create a mesh based on these lines / Surface - that has the same topology?

Use "project to Brep" component to project those lines onto your surface. Then cut the surface with those lines - and you will get sub-surfaces. Count the number of vertices of those subsurfaces.
