# 3.1.7: Connectivity to Beam

In Grasshopper meshing algorithms can generate topological connectivity diagrams. With the help of the **“Connectivity to Beam”**-component these may be directly converted to beam-structures (see fig. 3.1.7.1).

The input-plugs **“Z-Ori”**, **“Color”**, **“Id”** and **“CroSec”** have the same meaning as for the **“LineToBeam”**-component (see section [3.1.6](/3-in-depth-component-reference/3.1-model/3.1.6-line-to-beam.md)).
