Hi!

Is there a way to change the @ptnum to a specific order? For example, if I want pt#5 to become pt#0 on a geo with primitives.

I don't know about a way to do so specifically, but if you only need to change the point number of a single point and don't mind the rest of the numbers reordering: you could try using the Sort SOP and using shift give a negative value of the point number?

So pt#5 with a shift of -5 will become pt#0, and stay in the same place.

I'm guessing this might not be the best solution for you, but let me know if it helps.

Hi SirClarks. Thanks for the reply.

In my case, I wanted the upper-left point of a rectangle primitive to become “0”, the upper-right to be “1”, etc. (point numbers going clockwise)

I ended up just recreating the primitive from a detail wrangle. This gave the the ability to set the order manually since I created each points one by one.
