Hi, I made a marker to try and visualize the point vectors of my Point VOP. Although the points are moving, the vectors always read 0 0 0. Not sure why this is. Thanks for any help on this!

well, edge_dir is always 0 for points so the result is correct
edge_dir works only on geometry with edges

just use P as a visualizer. That will give you Point position of your points

with your node selected press X and you will have a visualizer node which by default outputs P then just change to type “marker” then you will see P
