Thanks man my problem is solved
After the fuse node, I used a join node to join the primitives together
Then I created the expression which calculates the length of seperate segments. Though I had a small problem where I was trying to divide a float value by an integer value, I fixed that as well. (by creating an attribute with float values)
prim(“../measure2”,“$PR”,“perimeter”,0) > (prim(“../measure1”,“$PR”,“perimeter”,0)/$SEGMENTS)
Houdini can be so frustrating if you don't know what to look for sometimes Love/Hate relationship thing, most of the time hate wins
Btw, I talked to the creator of that Edgegroup tool, and maybe he is going to recompile a version for Houdini 10

Dude, thanks!
I just figured out an easy way to select and delete those primitives
What I can do is measure every primitive, and select and delete every primitive which is longer than the distance between points on my base curve. Trying that out next thing in the morning, hope this works!
(have been stuck on this for about a week now :x )

Ah I see, that is interesting.
Only thing is that I don't quite know how to use my point selections to select the proper primitives. Can this be converted somehow? That would be great and probably solve my issue!
Btw, did you knew about this solution before or did you figure it out on the fly?

Swann_Thanks, but that last bit is precisely what I'm not getting Houdini to do in a procedural fashion.Schuey
To clarify, this is the result I want to achieve.
Howver I did do this manually and I want this done procedurally.
Use carveSOP, set first U to 0 ans second U to 1 and turn on Cut all internal U Breakpoints. Then use deleteSOP and delete unneded edges with your algoritm and fuse whats left.
Right now in the dissolve node it says “p2-3 p6-7” in the group input. I want to be able to use an expression t control which edge is deleted, so I can end up with multiple primitives in 1 node. I'm going to sweep some objects over those points later on, and I want those objects to be also 3 seperate primitives.

I am trying to do the same as described in this topic.
However the tool supplied doesn't work with Houdini 10…
Does anyone have a working solution in Houdini 10 or another custom tool?
The delete SOP doesn't delete lines but automaticly connects remaining points.
To clarify, this is the result I want to achieve.
