hi.. i was wondering if any one knows a way to select points and polys by their numbers of shared (edges, points etc)

for example..

`Hi houdini, please can i select all of the points in my model that only have 2 connected edges`

or `good afternoon H, can i select all the polys in my model that have only 2 points`


just almost exactly like lightwaves selection dialog.

thankee..

Group SOP can do edges, Connectivity SOP might help somehow ) and Partition SOP might also help, somehow )

It's been a long time since I used LW so I've forgotten what it did.

Let's make use of those fancy new attachments. I've provided examples of how to do these two types of tasks in the hip file. The selection of primitives by vertexes is easily done by the Group SOP. The selection of points by neighbours is a bit harder as it requires a VOP network (unless someone has a niftier way?). Take a look.
