    Hey, great Tutorial. Easy to follow and well explained.
    I'm only little confused about the fuse node. It dosen't delete 2/3 of the points (as I think it should). I tried it with 4 Primitives each 3 Points. After the fuse node I ended up with 8 Points instead of 4.
    Anyways, big thanks for the Tutorial!
