UI Location

• Geometry Queries

Description

Outputs the points in the proximity of the input position. There are two ways to search, and both can be used at the same time:

- When the Enable Cutoff Distance option is enabled, the node returns the locations of all the points that are within the specified distance of the input position.

- When the Enable Max Number of Points option is enabled, the node returns the location of the N closest points from the input position (where N is specified by the Max Number of Points port).

With both options, the N closest points that are within the input distance are returned. Accessing Data from Array Nodes

Port Description

Inputs

Group ID | Instance s | Port Name | Connection Info | Description
0 | 1 | geometry | • Type: siICENodeDataGeometry • Structure: siICENodeStructureSingle • Context: siICENodeContextSingleton | The geometry on which to search for the points.
position | • Type: siICENodeDataVector3 • Structure: siICENodeStructureSingle • Context: siICENodeContextAny | The position from which we want to search for the points based on distance and/or order of proximity.
enablecutoffdistance | • Type: siICENodeDataBool • Structure: siICENodeStructureSingle • Context: siICENodeContextSingleton | Specifies that we want the points within a certain distance of the input position.
cutoffdistance | • Type: siICENodeDataFloat • Structure: siICENodeStructureSingle • Context: siICENodeContextAny | The distance within which to retrieve the points.
enablemaxnumberpoints | • Type: siICENodeDataBool • Structure: siICENodeStructureSingle • Context: siICENodeContextSingleton | Specifies that we want the N closest points from the input position.
maxnumberpoints | • Type: siICENodeDataLong • Structure: siICENodeStructureSingle • Context: siICENodeContextAny | The maximum number of points requested when the Enable Max Number Points option is turned on.

Outputs

Port Name | Connection Info | Description
points | • Type: siICENodeDataLocation • Structure: siICENodeStructureArray • Context: siICENodeContextAny | The locations of the points in proximity. These are packaged in an array structure (see ).
