This is the VOP-Intersect node https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/vop/intersect . I'll keep the normals issue in mind, thanks. Anyway, is there a way of viewport debugging as in ICE (show properties)? I'm using print to show the values in the console atm, but that doesn't work really when you need to see which point has what value...
