Populate 2D surface on more than one branch

Hi all,

Is it possible to populate 2D on more than one surface through separate branches of the same data tree with just a single populate component? * but with different seed values for each of the surfaces.

I cant get this to work and have tried various inputs to correspond to the number of surfaces that i want to populate with random points. It only seems to populate a single branch of the tree.

Any ideas? Or is it necessary to repeat the component for as many branches as required (losing parametric capacity)

edit* i'm not sure if it makes a difference but the surfaces i am using come from a bounding box

Many thanks,

Chris

Hi,

I don't understand where your inquiry lies. is this what you are after?

Best,

Thanks Marios,

Ah whoops - my mistake... i didn't notice the difference between populate geometry and populate 2D but it seems the populate 2D keeps all of them in the world xy plane.

Populate geometry works great!

Many thanks
