Cop network in obj July 30, 2026, 5:21 p.m.
Thomas_Dorone
Looks like I can't add a standalone Copnet in obj network, adding a copnet puts it directly into a sop network.

Connect points in a flat primitive? July 29, 2026, 5:56 p.m.
In this particular case you could probably just use a Divide SOP with the 'Maximum Edges' parameter set to 4.
Another approach would be to 'Dissolve SOP' the 'end' edges - enabling 'Create curves when dissolving boundary' - leaving you with two open curves. Following this you could:
Add a 'Polybridge' SOP to bridge them back together. Use 'Implicit Pairing' set to 'Use Edge Counts' on the Pairing tab.
Or add a 'Reverse' SOP - set to primitive group "0" - to reverse the direction of one curve, followed by a 'Skin' SOP.

Sweep SOP for 3D shape? July 28, 2026, 5:30 a.m.
I think everyone is over thinking this - you just need:
Sphere SOP > Polywire SOP
Adjust Polywire settings to taste.
