Hello Houdini Community,

I'm a beginner. Would anyone be able to let me know how I can procedurally add a polygon face to each side of the deformed box in the attached file?

This is trickier than you might think. How would H know how to build the polygons? Ie, which points to connect in what order?
The polygon elements of H are set up differently to other 3D softwares - so It is a wise investment of your time to learn and understand the difference between points and vertices (two different things in H), edges, and polygons.

Here's a starter:

If you are bringing in an iges file... H has (sadly) very poor facilities. I'm not sure what iges version it supports.

Thanks so much for your help. The Add SOP did the trick. Can this application of the Add SOP be 'piecewise-looped' across similar cube-like geometry?
