hey guys, probably a simple question but stuck any way…you know when you have points over lapping in stead of using the fuse sop to consolidated them is there a way to but them in a group instead?
thanks

For example this way with Fuse SOP set to Snap mode and pointwrangle that creates point group based on distance difference between snapped and unsnapped point positions.

Hey pezetko is there another way to get the same result without using the point wrangle? Cause I'm not sure exactly how it works …

Many different ways.

I rebuild same logic with vopsop and group sop.

First I compare distance between original and fused (snapped) points.
If that distance is bigger then threshold I color those points red and put them in the group. Fuse sop is fetched to second input of pointwrangle/vopsop so the original point position is kept intact.
