Hi there

Is it possible to re-sort the point numbers on geometry using python? If so, can anybody “point” me on the right direction?

Cheers

HOM provides no way to do any kind of sorting. You could conceivably do it manually by creating an equal amount of points as your source, copying all attribute values from the source points to the dest points in whatever sort order you see fit and then delete the source points. This however would be very slow for even a moderate amount of points and attributes.

Another approach would be to use inlinecpp to wrap around some of the HDK calls that can sort points/prims.

Cool, thanks for clarifying this!

Graham,

Instead of sorting points, would it be possible to dynamically create lists in Python based on a parameter, and then appending any amount of points to these lists based on their attribute value?

In layman:

list 1
list 2
list x…

if point Cd value = 1
append point to list 1

You can use nested lists or a dictionary of lists depending on how you want to add items to the appropriate lists.
