RFE: Line-strip creation from a group of points

POPs

Continuing the rabbit hole of line-strips…

I think it would be very handy to be able to create and modify line-strips from a group. For example the Primitive POP could have a “Group“ option under Method, that generates a new Line-strip from and input group of points.

The Line Divide and LineBreak could have an option under “"division method” and “mode” respectively that supports it. It could make sense as well in other types of operators like “Line smooth“, where we could pass an specific set we want to operate on, etc.

This kind of operations would greatly simplify creating arbitrary line-strips from a set of points and overall managing the behaviours of lines.

Thanks for the suggestions, @Darien.Brito - I’m noting them now. We will very likely continue to enhance Group-based filtering as time goes on.

This would be very useful I still haven’t found the best way for dat to pop workflow; for now I am using a line-id attribute and the trail pop to connect them using this attribute but feels like a waste of gpu. The dat to sop is more work but has all the vertices defined. I suppose I am missing somthing but dat to pop could also have more simple options.

Thanks for the suggestion @Abas.fly. Improving the DAT to POP to create primitives and vertices is something that we plan to add in the future.

If a LineiD (or similar) is on a POP, it can be used with the Line Break POP to create unique line strips per id. OP Snippets may have an example of that.
