To just find the [closest point] is fairly easy. In case you want to match them though, so none of the points is used twice it will get more tricky by the use of an iterating process.

Hi Phillip, as I mentioned, I am not familiar with Grasshopper at all.

How do I use this ?

Cheers,

Mike.

Reference your two point clouds.

You will only need the two highlighted components of the definition and replace their inputs by either point collection.

To get a little into it, I can highly recommend the Primer.

Best,

Phillip

Example of an iteration process:

(34000 points in 2 lists, can probably be optimized)

The C# component is doing a simple iteration, the components after clean the lines which are too long.

You perhaps need something similar to http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/selection-of-a-point-a-li... though
