I want to aquire a single point position or single normal vector on a larger Polymesh as opposed to acquiring all the data at one time for the entire mesh. Is that possible?

hey joey… You could use a Get PointID node and pipe into a = node

set the second value in the = node to the id you want to isolate

get a filter node

plug the = output into the keep value of the filter

get a GetPointPosition compound

plug into the value port of the keep node.. Output the filter into a set PointPosition, or whatever it is you’re trying to drive…

Adam,
Thanks, that worked nicely. However, what I want to do now is get the Selected point and process that. I was a bit surprised to see that {Get Data node}Selection does not work.  Any idea how I can retrieve the currently selected point via Self or Selection?

or.....if I gather the data via a script, build an ICE Operator to processing a single point, and then call the ICE operator from the script, how would you pass the selection information in the script to the ICE operator?
