Hi Dave,

How were the points created? Was there originally a surface that these points were sampled from?

Dale,
Curves were made on the surface
Once curves were made, points were put on surface (divide curve by number of segments)
See attachment for details.

Hi @Dave_Perry,

With the surface, you can make this a 2-D problem rather than a 3-D one.

Calculate the closest point from the surface from each test point. Then sort the test points in what ever order makes sense. Then add the labels at those sorted locations.

Make sense?

Can you make a small script and run on this example to show me what you are talking about.
