# How to extract or clean up mesh bodies

## Objective:

Learn how to separate a part with multiple bodies using the Split Mesh block

Learn how to clean up a part using the Split Mesh block.

## Applies to:

* This procedure will also work to separate Implicit bodies, just convert the result back to Implicit
* Cleaning up meshing artifacts

## Procedure:

**1. Set-Up**: Start with a Mesh with multiple bodies

* * **Ex.** Boolean Subtract a **Walled TPMS** from a **Cube** of the same size.

**2.** Add a **Split Mesh** block and input your Mesh

**3.** Open up the Properties of the **Split Mesh** block and scroll to the bottom. The Meshes are organized by size. Drag the chip out into the Notebook to extract the meshes from the **Split Mesh.**

*This process works when you have one large mesh and multiple mesh artifacts. Input your **Mesh** into the **Split Mesh** block and take the top Chip to cut out any artifacts.*
