replace point coordinates

Hey Everybody,

I am trying to replace the y coordinates from a series of points on a grid with a series of random values, but I am having difficulty in doing so and I am unsure of how to use the replace component. Can anyone shed some light on what I am doing incorrectly? I am unsure what item feeds the "S" input on the replace component.

Thanks!

Don't use replace, use pointXYZ instead, it's more straightforward . Replace works on sets of numbers its a bit too much for this task..

Or if you want to stick with replace..

Ok, my next hurdle is this: I am trying to restrict line connections to planar points. I have created an XY and YZ plane at each point in an attempt to find a way to connect plane centroids using the 3d proximity component, but I haven't had any luck. Any suggestions?

can you sketch what you need to achieve? because i am not so sure that I understand..

My goal is to maintain an orthogonal grid in the front view, so in order to do so, I am trying to restrict connections between points to only those that occur in the same orthogonal plane. Hopefully this helps to clarify my goal. Here is a sketch:
