Why are my points only recognised as Rhino geometry?

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly new to the GH ball game and I'm having a little trouble with what might seem to be the easiest problem.

I want to find the 2 dimensional proximity of a set of points (highlighted in the screenshot). I'm able to do this if I bake the points and reference them from a point container. If I attempt to do feed these points in from grasshopper I get to result. Why is that?

Thanks!

Your points are arranged in a tree structure (dashed wire). That means that there are several separate list of points, worst case for you is one point per list. Now proximity calculates for all the points in the same list and ignores all the points in other lists.

If you bake to Rhino and reassign, you basically compound all points into one single list as Rhino doesn't care about GH list structures. The same can be done in GH with the "flatten" option or component.

Awesome, it's doing what I want it to do. I thought it might have had something to do with my list structure but wasn't entirely sure. Thank you for your help Hannes, appreciate it!
