Justin K Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hey all-- Is there a way to fuse points on a geo without changing the primitive numbers? By default, the facet and fuse both reset the prim values and start them all at one. Ideally, Id actually like to retain the original prim numbers through the operation. Ive attached a file. Thank you! fuse_v001.hipnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anim Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 you can't keep the same primitive numbers if you are removing primitives unless you delete just last N prims since you removed points through removepoint() a lot of prims lost their vertices, but are still part of the geo, that's why the numbers didn't change immediatelly, you usually don't want that anyway so the fact that fuse is clearing them up is kind of a good thing but if you want you can create an attribute that will remember the original prim number 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin K Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Thanks Tomas, I realize now that the workflow wasn't necessarily that clean. The goal was to basically split a geo apart,and then upon reconstruction of the geo, have the all the primitives be exactly the same----no matter what sort of tomfoolery I applied to them. But this now seems like a pointless goal- my setups are working fine without it. Storing the original prim nums in an attribute has been helpful as well. Thanks!
