Hi,

How can I group similar polygon shells based on vertices/points count?

Thanks for the reply. It seems to be doing what I was asking although the shells in one cluster don't have exactly same vertex count which is probably a matter of tweaking parameters? I wish there was an easier way to do it as the clustering attribute vop seems quite complex. Isn't there a way to do the clustering with the built-in cluster node?

yep just use the shell pointcount (@np in this case) as the partition attribute.
Also cluster works with the attribute if you want group numbers starting from 0.
