Hello, I have what seems like it should be a simple GH problem but can’t seem to find an existing solution. I have a point field generated over a surface, and I would like to basically push points away from particular curves. Any ideas on combinations of components that I could use to essentially …

Invert your vectors and values. Look at the remap and reverse components. Further help may come once you upload a file.

@Michael_Pryor Here is the script I am using; only the purple highlighted section is what I am concerned with at the moment. The items I want to push the points away from are referenced in the curve component. I assume I can use a divide curve to get representative points to use in the attractor. I…

I looked at that thread and tried Pufferfish (pinch n spread), but I’m not really getting any kind of result. That thread appears to have a more complex goal than what I’m trying to do.

have a point field generated over a surface, and I would like to basically push points away from particular curves. Maybe you need some better description. Everything in that thread does exactly what you describe.

I’ve described my goal as clearly as possible, it’s very simple in theory. I am just not getting an outcome when trying pufferfish at its greatest strength. Barely anything happens. I’ve read through that entire thread, but this is where my inexperience becomes problematic…since I am not trying to a…

I am just not getting an outcome when trying pufferfish at its greatest strength Do you mean the component is not working? Here works fine, have you looked at example files? [Capture] Anyway based on the link I already sent you can do something like this, which is what you describe " have a po…

Based on those images, that is not exactly what I want to do; I am essentially trying to create an easement, around selected curves, in which there would be no points at all.

So do you mean to cull(remove) points? [Capture] CullPointsCurve.gh (12.5 KB) A sketch of your goal would help.

I don’t want to remove the points…just push them away a certain distance. If I start with 200 points in the field, I still want to have 200 points at the end, but I want a clearance around the selected detractor.
