Sam, the hexagonal grid essentially generates a bunch of hexagons. The points of the grid are all the hexagon corners combined, meaning that on the inside of the grid every single point has 2 coincident points. Along the edges of the grid, coincidence is either 1 or zero depending on the corner. So when you move points you have to figure out if you want to move all coincident points at a specific location, or if just moving a few is good enough.
There's a number of ways in which you can distort a point list: 1) extract a few points using Cull, SubSet, Item, Dispatch etc. then moving those points. 2) create an individual motion vector for each and every point in the set. If you supply a zero-length vector for some points, they will remain in place while others are moved about. The advantage of the second approach is that your point order remains the same, thus you can easily use the new and old coordinates knowing they'll be at similar indices in the list. -- David Rutten Robert McNeel & Associates On Oct 15, 3:21 pm, sam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 1st . really sorry if my problem sounds a bit stupid. > 2nd.
