How to extract faces from multiple objects?

Anonymous — Mon, 02 May 2016 03:57:52 GMT

Hi, all.

I would like to know if there is anyway to extract faces from multiple objects?

Here's my situation. I've duplicated a hexagonal mesh into hundreds to form honeycomb pattern. Every mesh is keyframed(animated). I would like to extract faces of each hexagon to create interesting animation. Please help and thank you in advance.

Select all the objects....combine them all...activate face model and select them and extract them....separate.

Hi J450NP13. Thanks for helping. However, i would like the models to retain the keyframes. is there anyway to do so after combine? Or is there other alt?

Try copying them into another scene then back.
