connect the new mesh to the geoConnector:

connect
mesh.message to geoConnector.owner;
mesh.worldMatrix[0] to geoConnector.worldMatrix;
mesh.outMesh to geoConnector.localGeometry;

Hello!

Thanks for the info. I originally tried that but I didn’t get the correct results. I will play around with it some more.
Heh, I already wrote a script to do this. :)
Thanks for your help!
