Can I build a lattice from the edges of a part?

Question:

Can I build a lattice on the edges of a part?

I have an existing lattice and I want to connect it by creating beams from the edges of the part it is created from. 

Answer:

To build a lattice from the edges of a part, use the Lattice from Surface Mesh block and choose the Mesh Edges setting in the Method input. This setting creates lattice beams from the edges of the part.
