I typically Construct a field from bits and pieces returned by Pick. Select 'closest vertex' and send it to Construct origin; in parallel, Select 'old positions' and send it to (the same) Construct data. You should have a field with one position and one vector data item attached to it

I have done this as a macro using looping controls. It is not the most efficient way to do it, but it does work. It would be better if the Tube module had someone enchance it to provide this functionality since often people want to do this. Sorry, but it does not immediately support this at
