Just a quick question about grouping.

I have a number of seperate cubes that I separate using a connectivity sop, and then a partition sop. This gives me a group for each cube using the rule cube_$CLASS.

Now what i need to do is essentially group the groups using an animated bounding box. However, when I use the second group node with the bounding box, the faces of each cube gets put into this group individually. I need it so that each whole cube gets placed into the group and not just their faces.

Can anyone help???

Group by points inside the bounding box then use another group sop to expand the group and convert it to a primitive group.
You can expand a group using the edges option - edge depth - just turn it up to about 4 that should get all the points in each cube.

Sorry simon,

when I use the second group sop, I cannot have it set as a primitive group and also have access to the edge depth???

That's correct,set it to points and do everything as points then convert to a primitive group at the end if that is what you need.

Thanks a lot for your help simon.

Managed to sort it.
