Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

I'm new to Grasshopper, and I'm trying to figure out how to select only one brep object from a large group, specifically the one that is closest to a given point.

What I've managed to figure out is this:

The surface is the grid on which the objects are placed, and the brep param has selected the multiple breps I'm selecting from. This only gives me a range of distances from my point to the nearest points on all breps.

I can only seem to figure out how to find the nearest point on all breps, but I would like to be able to manipulate only one brep at a time. How might I do this?

Hi Lauren,

 

you're very close as far as I can tell. Sorting the breps based on the CP distance is the correct first step. I think all you need to do now is use the List Item component to extract the first object in the list of sorted Breps (the object at index = 0).

Thanks! 

Hi, I have a mesh, with the vertices, and i found the list of points that are above a certain distance from one point in the group, and now i want to somehow have a list of all the mesh faces associated with those points... is that possible? i've been trying but to no avail...

Image attached.
