Controlling a poly wired grid radius with an object

Hello masterminds,

Quick question…So i have a quad grid with the output attached to a poly wire. I also created a sphere so its position would control the wire thickness (poly wire radius) of the grid. To make that happen, i created a point attribute with the name pscale attached it to the sphere and then piped both sphere and grid to an attribute transfer node with the intention to see the grid morphing which, of course, didn't happen. Does someone knows how to do this?

I just want to control the grid thickness with a sphere or other object like a null.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing you transferred the attribute after the polywire

Brilliant A-OC! Thank you so much for the sending this. Really appreciated.

One question, is there a way to keep the polygons inside the sphere still influenced by pscale?

You can use a group sop, Bounding Regions, Bounding Object, and connect the sphere to the second input to set the attribute of those points also. Remember to do it before the polyWire.

That is cool! After adding the nodes that you mentioned, it worked exactly as expected. Thank you so much again.
