Hi guys,

First of all I apologize if my question is not clear enough if there are any questions or things you don't understand please feel free to ask. I'm fairly new to Houdini so if the solution to this problem is obvious please forgive me.

So for this simulation I'm using 2 tutorials ( one of Simon Fiedler ( Ivy ) and one of Johnny Farmfield ( Growth)).
I'm stuck with the thickness difference of the ivy while it's growing. I'm trying to give a thickness of 0 to the tip of the ivy
and let it become thicker while it is growing on the rest of the vine. Its works if I use only one curve (vine) but I'd like to do the same with multiple curves. The only problem is that all my points have a different number ( which is logic), but isn't there a way to split each vine appart and reverse sort them so that the tip of all the vines has point number 0? That way I could use my attribute wrangle which gives the thickness to the vine once for all the vines. Because the way I see it now is to group each vine manually and blast the rest away, reverse sort it and then let it run through the whole setup. Which means I need to copy the setup for each vine and I know it is not the right way to do this. Can somebody help me with this?

Hi again,

Maybe this file will be more helpful then the whole setup.
So in here I made a simple Vine to show you how it works for one vine.
I also imported VINE_TEST_03 geometry to show you on what I want to apply this on.
So the question is, is there a way of doing what the simple setup does and apply it on multiple vines?

Thanks in advance
