Deforming SOP using specific points

Hi, I have a text SOP which I would like to get access to point data to deform the geometry along the x and y. For example, point 6 in the top right. Is there a way to extract all of the points to CHOPs and select what I need? I tried with a DAT but got confused.

Hi @sammo69,

have a look at the Group SOP where you can create groups by specifying points or point ranges. Many other SOPs, like the Transform SOP, have a Group parameter for applying a transformation only to the selected group.

Also have a look at the OPSnippets for the operators to see some examples on how they can work in different scenarios.

Perfect, took me a little while to get my head round it but it works. Now got to figure a way to make this mouse interactive. Thanks very much :slight_smile:
