Selecting a specific point out of many.

Hi there,

this seems easy but it is slightly tricky. I know how to get the smallest / largest value in a list etc.

Yet, I am trying to select a point that has the smallest Z coordinate. I can deconstruct the point and select the smallest z coordinate yet I can only (re)construct that point manually - comparing the two different lists and getting the X and Y values of that specific point.

Is there way to sort a list of points according to the values of a given - X, Y, Z - coordinate, rather than overall?

Kind Regards,

Levent

Yes, you can sort the Z values, and synchronously sort the points using the A input of the Sort component.

And here's how to do it without changing the order of the points. I.e. instead of sorting the points synchronously, the point indices are sorted synchronously.
