2- Multiple Attractor Points
In this Grasshopper tutorial, we will understand what happens when we use two or more points as an attractor and how it affects our grid of points.

Good afternoon! On time 00:49, how did you delete all the nodes and connections and still managed to keep the “Group of points” intact? When I delete, the relationship is lost and the “group of points” is simply vacant. Thank you!

Hi,
I think you accidentally deleted the real points in Rhino!
You can lost the relation only if you delete the component or clear the value inside the component
Good luck!

Its ok I figured it out. I had to right click on the “group of points” node and click “internalize data” in order to keep the rectangular array and the 20-by-20 count. Thank you.

Hi,
Yes! that’s great.
Good Luck!

Hello
In this tutorial I had a hard time figuring out how to get a grid of points with just one point component, it would be awesome if you explain that at the beginning.
I am attaching a jpeg image because I can’t get the surface right. When I put the 25 U Count in the Number slider I get nothing and only at two I get numerous surfaces. Please explain, thanks

Hi Teresa,
you have add one unit to the U Count because when you’re extracting point from the surface, the U Count in the Divide Surface means number of slices not number of rows or columns so you have to add one unit to generate surface from points
I’ve also attached a file which can explain more
Many thanks.
