Get all faces of the mesh from the code

Good morning,

Due to project requirements I have to access all the faces of a Mesh from the code. But the faces are only calculated when I select them or hover over them in the visual editor.

Is there any way to calculate and get the faces from the code?

Thank you very much and best regards

    Please try this approach:

    private void Design1_SelectionChanged(object sender, Workspace.SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        Workspace.SelectedFace selFace = e.AddedItems[0] as Workspace.SelectedFace;

        Mesh.FaceElement meshFace = ((Mesh)selFace.Item).Faces[selFace.Index];

        List<int> triangles = meshFace.Triangles;
    }

    And there is no way to select faces without the selection event?
    Because without the faces being selected, they are not in the Mesh.Faces list. I want to populate this list from code, without using manual selection.

    You probably need the Workspace.ProcessSelectionVisibleOnly() method
