I would like to group all primitives that are:
* directly adjacent to each other
* share the same normal with x% of possible deviation
My attempts so far worked with finding primitives with the same normal (using the partition sop), however, it's not really optimal and I fail to combine this with only adjacent primitives. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Group adjacent primitives with similar Normal

share the same normal with x% of possible deviation
vector normal = chv('normal'); float threshold = chf('threshold'); // compare user normals against surface normals float compare = distance(@N, normal); // assign to group if within threshold if(compare < threshold){ setprimgroup(0, "angle_select", @ptnum, 1, "set"); }

Regarding adjacent primitives primpoints will tell you what points are connected to the selected prim. feeding those points into a pointsprim function will give you all the prims connected to those points. by comparing the prim normals you can restrict this expansion. put both steps into a for loop to increase the spread.
I attached a little tool that hopefully does the job.
