Extract Mesh Faces By Aspect Ratio

The ExtractMeshFacesByAspectRatio command separates mesh faces from the parent mesh object that are greater than the specified aspect ratio limit.

ExtractMeshFacesByAspectRatio finds mesh faces that are very long compared to their width. A ratio of 25:1 or above is considered long.

In the image, the extracted red faces have an aspect ratio of 9:1 or more.
