Hi all,
I find it difficult to believe that this can't be done, but I cannot find anything about this anywhere.
I'm trying to set a variable based on distance to the origin and I thought a ramp parameter would work very well with this. However, the ramp position will not allow any value greater than 1.
Is this true? Why this limitation - I'll now have to add another variable to scale the whole thing which seems pointless.

Use the Fit VOP / expression.

So it's definitely a limit with the ramp parameter that it cannot be > 1?
From a user point of view this is a bit weird. When setting up a ramp that corresponds to a distance it would be really useful if the ramp parameter is the actual distance, not some normalized version of distance

Whats weird is using a ramp, when you can use a point cloud to easily to that.

Could you elaborate?

or even better a simple VOP sop to create a distance attribute
