"Sequential closest points" broken in V6 / GH1

I used this tool a lot.
It does not work anymore in V6/GH1.

I don’t have the ability to recompile Sequential Closest Points component for R6 or provide corresponding script, BTW, can introduce old topic that deal with similar algorithm called “Travelling Salesman”.

You can use this as a quick fix.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your effort.
Sadly, it doesn’t work here :

I have exactly the same issue with “Sequential Closest Points”.

Strange…

It looks like you have the inputs plugged in backwards. P should be the start point, S is the list (cloud) of sample points to sort. (Same goes for the Sequentially Sort Points Component)

I feel really silly at this point…

Michael_Pryor · October 10, 2018, 5:12pm

Shit happens (I think S is not the best name as it makes the brain think “Start”)

Yeah, to me, it was “Points” and “Start”, but the Neoarchaic component had proper tooltips, so I can’t even hide behind this.

Michael_Pryor · October 10, 2018, 5:15pm

Yes P reminds me of “Point Cloud”, anyway so the Neoarchaic component does in fact work?

osuire · October 10, 2018, 5:23pm

Yes, it works.
I had an instance where it produced a bunch of cryptic error messages but I can’t reproduce that…
