Since 12.0

The Point Cloud Import by Index VOP imports point information outside of Point Cloud Iterate or Point Cloud Unshaded contexts. It requires a handle created by Point Cloud Open and will return data about the idxth point that was found close to the query position. By using this and Point Number Founds you can iterate over found points using a For VOP. This node corresponds to the pcimportbyidx* family of VEX function.

There are two special channel names you can import:

point.number

The number of the point being processed. This works with float or integer importing.

point.distance

The distance of the point being processed from the query point. This only works for float importing.

Inputs

handle

The point cloud handle to be used for import.

channel

The channel to import. You should select the data type for the channel using the Signature parameter.

idx

Which of the found points to import the data from. Should be between 0 and pcnumfound()-1.

Outputs

data

The data imported from the point cloud.
