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?
How to add polygons faces between curves?

File attached with a couple of simple alternatives.
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.

Sorry for the late response - not been around for a few days.
H has multiple 'for loop' SOP's - but you're still faced with the same issue: How do you identify the logical units / points to connect?
Let's take a different approach: What's your aim here? Are you trying to import IGES / CAD geo, or something else? Maybe there is a better way to approach what you need to do?
