How to create points that represent objects in SOP?

just like the DopImport SOP node have an option called “create points represent objects.”

For example, the there are 4 objs in the attachment file,and how can I create points that have the same movement as the objs?

thanks

In your example, put an Add sop below each of the “objects” and turn on “Delete Geometry But Keep Points”.

Just to clarify though, these are not Objects ( in Houdini ) they are Primitives inside a single Object.

thank you. that does work, but what if I just want each single point to represent each Primitives, then how can I do it ? like 4 points represent 4 primitives

I used a foreach SOP to take the centroId of each object you have to represent with a single point.

Hope this is what you are looking for.
