Hi!

I'm processing some photogrammetry scans with millions of polygons and I'd like to choose 3 points and create a triangle out of those with a Detail Wrangle.

Is there a way my wrangle could search for the “Base Group” information found in the node called “pick_3_points” from the detail wrangle?

Is this what you were thinking - see attached?

Detail wrangle 1
i[]@pointnumbers;

for(int i = 0; i < npoints(0); i++){
    if(inpointgroup(0,"pick_3_points",i)){
    append(i[]@pointnumbers,i);
    }
}

int firstindex = i[]@pointnumbers[0];
push(i[]@pointnumbers, firstindex);

Detail wrangle 2 
addprim(0,"polyline",i[]@pointnumbers);

Thanks. It looks like it would work but the expandpointgroup function does all that.
