Does it all have to be done with a single cloud/operator?
It's much easier to accomplish by breaking into phases:

2-Extrude along curves

My two cents:
VRay was used very successfully for Tron and Real Steel. It was easy
to set up and manage the VRay pipeline. The turnaround time was really
fast and results were consistently good.
The support we got from the Chaos Group was good as well. And finally

The main thing I am looking for is the RT capability VRay currently has

I wouldn't trust that plugin.
The reason it doesn't weld is because you have coincident polygons all over
place (two polygons in exactly the same place sharing the same vertices).
That's why you see the bold highlighted edges.
Delete the coincident polygons and your regular filter tools
You can disable behaviours on a per particle basis, but everything will
have to be simulated at all times. The thing you described is at the core
of how ice works and there is no way around that as far as I know.

this multi selects the nodes, but doesnt open the panel

The point that Steven and I were getting at is that simulations don't need to
be cumulative. For example if you plug (0,0,0) into Set PointPosition, it's not
going anywhere. So, you might be able to accomplish what you want to do with
states.
Another approach that might work is to have

I understand your point, but since the idea is to stack a bunch of diferent
modifications on top of eachother they always rely on point position. So I
am always doing something like self.pointposition + x,y,z... therefore
cumulating values. Thinking harder about it, if I relied on emit location
Depending what you're after post-sim might work if you think of Simulation
as storage of values to use and process in post-sim.
I recently did a sim of falling money bills. I drove ICE-modeling-instanced
meshes with particles and to deform them I only needed to know the velocity
difference
Its been a request for a few betas now. Not sure how they prioritize this
stuff (south park family guy manatees style?) but this would open up so
many doors. The legacy syflex system supports weight maps if I remember
correctly so I'm not sure where the hang up is.
