Easy Procedural Grid Array? Like a 3x3x3 LED Cube

Is there an easy way to get a cube with interior divisions? I want to be able to get points from them so I could get points like on a LED Cube.

sorry..should have said 2*2*2 divisions….should look like this…make sure you use a polygon cube…I think you used a nurb.

Is there a way to put faces on the edges? I want to cut up geometry into cubes with Boolean Fracture.

Not really, the layout of those primitives are a bunch of straight line segments, not squares ready to be filled in.

mestela Thank you. This works great. I was doing something similar with MOPS Instancer, but this is much more elegant and I'm assuming ‘cheaper’ because it's using low level nodes.

Mmmmmaybe more efficient, but not enough to worry about. Plus mops has all the cool features for modifying and animating your instances, my one is pretty spartan!
