Hi!
I have a bunch of points and I would like a copy-to-point to place a number on each point (@ptnum) with the font Sop. I'm tring to find a way to convert my @ptnum to a string that I would place in a detail attribute and later pick that from info in a Font sop.
Any tips on doing this?

Hi, Olivier,
you can convert an integer to a string using the “standard” itoa function (https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/vex/functions/itoa.html) - you can set the detail attribute using setdetailattrib:
Note that this only makes sense if you have a single point per geometry … the detail-attribute name here is “point-id”.
I hope this helps,
Marc

setdetailattrib(0, "point-id", itoa(@ptnum), "set");

I hope this helps,
