Hello every body , I am an intermediate user of GS and I have a question pretty urgent ! How can I sort a list of 3d points (meaning they are not on a surface) in terms of their Z dimension so as more the Z dimension is as higher or lower in my list?

Thank you in advance

    Hello,

    I'm also a beginner but i'll try to help (I don't have the software right now so I can't join a picture/file, and not 100% of my advice).

    You can create a "point" component to get all your points.

    Then create a "deconstruct" component to get the XYZ coordinates of these points.

    Then you can sort the Z coordinates with a "Sort List" component.

    And with a right click you can choose to Reverse the list once it has been sorted, if you want to sort it in the other way.

    I hope it will help.

      I did that some time ago.
      Points> bounding box (Union box)> split box sections in the Z axis > Explode tree> Points in breps> Dispatch (list = points)> merge all List A
      With this order the points you get, I hope it helps you if you have any problems upload the definition and help you.
