I don't suppose a 2nd carve sop is what you are looking for? Using first U to locate the corner and keeping both inside and outside.

I would perhaps be nice if you could identify a specific point on the curve and turn on Breakpoints for that location.

hi probbins
thanks a lot for your reply! I just think about the same thing.
The problem is clear now. How can I find the corner point by houdini:it is really confusing me a lot.

Use the poly extrude SOP

Find the normal that is not pointed in the same direction as the primitive normal.

Should be good to go!

cheers,

here is what I get now. The question is more and more approaching its goal. I can find the primtive normal and the point normal. But there is still some problems that I do not know how to put the point normal and the primtive normal together to compare. Hope some nice guy HELPS! :shock:

could you remove inline points using the facet sop and then the end points the one left is the corner…..

The trick is finding just the right hammer for every screw

Thanks very much for you reply, Simon.

I take you method and work it out. It seems to be a good solution for the problem.

It is a part of a much bigger project, and there are still some problems.

Thanks for all the help you offer!
