stevenong Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hey aracid, I attached an example hip file that I hope will help you. I renamed the SOPs to what they do. I hope it helps! Cheers! steven rocks_grouping.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Give this a try too: After you have a Group SOP that has only the partial points that you'd like, pipe in another Group SOP, make a point group, and go the Edges folder. There is a parameter called Edge Depth, crank that up very high (to cover each rock) and in the Point Group underneath, put in the partial points group from above. Hope that helps. George. P.S. In version 7.0 and before you can only put in one point, in later versions you can specify an entire point group. (Thanks to TheUsualAlex for that RFE ).
