Deleting largest point number

[logix1390]

Hello,

I am trying to delete the largest point number in a line procedurally. I have ten points , I want to delete point 10.

I was trying to use npoints expression in the `group by range` sop, but no luck. It gives me the opposite result of grouping the smallest point number.

Any thoughts?

 

I'll attach my scene file for anyone who wants to take a look. Thank you.

you just need to add the npoints(0)-1 to the start, here is the HIP

This is perfect Sepu! What exactly is this expression doing? What is the 0  and -1 ?

Really appreciate the help.

no problem 

0 just means, number of points of the first input geo
-1 is because point numbers start at 0 and not 1 so you need subtract by one, you can middle click on the param and see it for yourself

...or if you don't care about the order afterwards...simply Sort>Reverse>Delete point 0 (which was last/max previously)
