Ok so following this post:

Geometry nodes - Convert scattered geometries to mesh

Hi all, I just started checking the new Geometry Nodes addition (great stuff, thanks to developers!), and I cannot find how to convert scattered objects to mesh (I don’t know if this is possible ). If I apply the Geometry nodes modifier, the scattered geometries dissapear. Any help is appreciated, thanks a lot!!

When I do these things it creates multiple objects for random groups of the scattered basic cubes I am using. But then, when I highlight all to join them (CTRL+J) into a single object, all except what is highlighted is deleted, not joined.

Known bug, or is the above topic no longer correct. Essentially, I just want all the output joined into a single mesh object.

EDIT: Actual File Is below… all the .001 onwards objects should be joined.

Hi @crayzcrinkle,

You need to add a Realize Instances Node :-

then, with all selected in the viewport, apply the GeoNode Modifier in the Properties panel…

this will convert each geonode into a single group mesh, you can then use CTRL-J to join all the groups you have into one big mesh.

Hope that’s of help,
Cheers,
