Grouping Geometries based on proximity

Hi,

I’m bringing in certain geometries as .3dm files that all follow a certain pattern. They all have a random number of geometries that are in distinct groups. I want a grasshopper script that can take all the geometries at once and sort them into a certain data structure I require.

The sorts of geometries will look like this:

In this example there a 4 distinct groups of geometries. I want these groups to be sorted into 4 distinct branches on a tree. There could be any number of distinct groups, but will always be more than 1 geom in a group.

I’ve manually shown what the output from the grasshopper script would need to be:

Here is the .3dm file and the GH script pictured.

Thanks!

Thanks! that works really well for what I need! I wasn’t aware of point groups - works great
