Hi All,

I am relatively new to Houdini, and am trying the connect points to their nearest y neighbour vertically. The points aren't perfectly aligned. I have attached a quick sketch (with red markup) to show the desired connections. Connect adjacent points connects to the x,z points as these are closest (attached.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Here is one way:

int pts [ ] = pcfind ( 0, "P2", v@P2, ch("radius"), chi("maxpts") );
int foundpts [ ] = array ( );
foreach ( int pt; pts )
{
    int id = point ( 0, "class", pt );
    if ( i@class != id )
    {
        append ( foundpts, pt );
        break;
    }
}

if ( len ( foundpts ) > 0 )
    addprim ( 0, "polyline", @ptnum, foundpts [ 0 ] );
