swap points in a mesh

hey guys, I have a mesh and I want to replace some of the points on it with other points.. I know how to locate the points I wanna swap..I just don't know how to reconnect the mesh (or lines) with just a point list.. is there some way to copy the "structure" of the points so that it will rebuild a mesh from them?

Hello kipodi

if you start from a mesh one way could be to use construct mesh and replace item components.

the deconstruct mesh give you access to the mesh vertices. you work on those you want and these are replaced creating a new list of vertices o construct the new mesh.

thank you very much, seems logical.. by the way, what would happen if I had more the for edges for each face.. like a hexagon,then a mesh could not be constructed, is there a way to do the same only using lines instead of mesh?

starling and weaverbird have components that use lines and polylines to construct meshes.

but still topology information is needed

this could be useful
