How do I get the mesh points?

So, I'm playing around with the new 3D features. I'm building levels by placing horizontal surfaces (floors and ceilings) in a layout, using Tiled Background objects. The walls are then generated at runtime by creating 3D shapes (cubes). It's working really well so far, but all of the surfaces are rectangular in shape.

I could use meshes to transform the surfaces to be arbitrary shapes, but then in order to generate walls in the correct places, I need to be able to retrieve the mesh points at runtime. Is there a way to do this, since can't find anything in the documentation?

Thank you.

Not unless you want to parse the save state asjson.

Oh yeah, that would definitely work, but it's probably a bit too much work. It's a shame there isn't an easy way of accessing the points, since you can set them easily enough.

Thanks for the advice newt. I gave it a try and it turned out to be fairly straightforward. It feels a bit icky because I'm relying on the internal structure of the save file, which isn't part of any public API, so could change in a future version I guess, but it does the job for now.

It'd be much nicer to have an Instance.GetMeshPointX(index) function (and likewise for the y-coordinate).

Nice. It is a bit hard to figure for some parts.

I guess you could also make a suggestion.

Great idea! I added it as a suggestion here construct3-21h2.ideas.aha.io/ideas/C321H2-I-102, in case anyone else has the same issue, and stumbles across this thread as a result. :-)
