4.1.3. Extract Local OcTree Mesh

The output of using the code create_octree_mesh_e3d_v2_tiled.exe to create OcTree meshes includes a binary file octree_small_mesh.dat. To extract a particular local OcTree mesh and save as an OcTree mesh file, we use the program extract_mesh.exe. This executable does not require an input file.

The syntax for extracting local OcTree meshes is the path to the program extract_mesh.exe, followed by the path to the binary file containing all local meshes, followed by the index of the local mesh you would like to extract.

The program outputs a file named octree_mesh_xxxx.txt where ‘xxxx’ is a placeholder for the index number.
