Hi:)

Is it possible to shorten the name displayed on the surfaces using `HB Label Faces’? I mean just the name described for the Breps and Geometries. Please find the attachment.

Many thanks.

Sincerely,
Behnam

Hi Behnam,

You can edit the name and then feed the text to GH original component ‘Text Tag 3D’.
The ‘base_pts’ output of ‘HB Label Faces’ is structured perfectly to fit the ‘location’ input of ‘Text Tag 3D’.

e.g.:

Also, if you want to edit the actual unique ID that is used to refer to these objects in the Model and throughout the simulation, the HB Set Identifier lets you do this. Just be wary that you really need to be diligent about using unique IDs if you are going to use this. Otherwise, you’ll easily end up with some pretty weird behavior.
