An illustration of the mesh block extraction from the selected targets in the cortical column. a The spatial extent of the block is identified by a bounding box that is given in the input configuration. b The meshes are generated from the corresponding morphologies with an extended version of the meshing pipeline presented by Lasserre et al. [44]. c The resulting wavefront object meshes are loaded in Blender [45] and clipped on a per-mesh basis. d All the clipped meshes are loaded in Blender and grouped together with a union boolean operation to generate the final mesh block
