Pcfind works differently

[Blackagate]

Hi all,

I have a specific problem. In Houdini 16.5 I had an asset where I used Connect Adjacent Pieces. When I tried to open this asset in Houdini 17.5, the lines behavior was totally different. A detailed analysis showed that the problem is inside of a VEX-code and pcfind_radius funktion that works differently now. I didn't find any mentions of it in the documentation. Does anybody now, what exactly was changed, and how therefore I could return the previous behavior back?

Here I attach two screenshots.

H16.5:

H17.5:

And then the example file with a test geo points.

Thanks a lot!
