Hi,

measure the edge lengths for all faces (graft, so every face is one branch) then sort lists of  the lengths (K), take the first item of each list, test for smaller then your minimum and you get a boolean list.

Use this list to dispatch the original list of faces.

Best, 

Phillip

A little bit of scripting is another option.

Hello Andreas

Would you be kind enough to modify this script to delete faces by area (larger than)?

Sorry, my scripting skills are really lousy and I only managed to change it to larger than, but can't figure out how to change the length to area

Thanks in advance
