Hi Morten, if you are you using the Polygonizer in EMTopolizer, it definitely works. you would be already using a get_vertex_array to look up the positions of the pointcloud, plugged into the positions input of the Polygonizer preset. You can just duplicate that vertex array and change it to looku

The reason to do it post-emittion is because then you know that whatever's left will be doing the same thing (presuming you're not doing any neighbour lookups or anything) that it did before, but there'll just be less of them.
