Hi,

Is there similar functionality in Houdini (Transforming object center to selected point(s)), if not I appreciate some tips on how to create it with SOP/VEX if possible

Thanks,

Hey hbahnassi,

you can make a group containing the points you want the center to be. Then use the match size node and toggle the "use groups to determine justification bounds". Select your group there and set Justify X,Y,Z values to your liking.

Cheers

In a VEX point wrangle it may be:

// INPUT 0: Mesh to be translated
// INPUT 1: Points with group 'sel'

vector pos_center = getbbox_center(0);
vector pos_pts = getpointbbox_center(1, 'sel');

v@P += pos_pts - pos_center;
