# Extract Largest Component

**Type:** `nodetool.model3d.ExtractLargestComponent`

**Namespace:** `nodetool.model3d`

## Description

Keep only the largest disconnected triangle component of a 3D mesh.
    3d, mesh, model, cleanup, component, connected, floater, islands

    Current limits:
    - First honest pass supports GLB triangle geometry only
    - Output rebuilds triangle geometry and does not preserve all original attributes/material setup

    Use cases:
    - Remove disconnected floaters from AI-generated meshes
    - Keep the primary object from noisy geometry
    - Clean up multi-island outputs before downstream processing
