delete_points

Returns a new point-based geometry (such as a particle system or mesh) without the specified points.

Inputs

geometry

The point-based geometry from which to delete points.

points_to_delete

The points to delete. This port accepts the same inputs as interpret_auto_port_as_component_tag:

• An array<bool> is interpreted as values per-point. The array gets passed through, but may be resized to match the number of elements on the geometry input.
• An array<long> or array<uint> is interpreted as point indices.
• A string is interpreted as the name of an existing tag or a tag expression. See the documentation for resolve_tag_expression for more details on the tag expression syntax.

properties

The names of geo properties to transfer to the new geometry, such as point_color. Make sure to include all geo properties that you want, including those that target components other than points (such as faces and face-vertices in the case of meshes). Properties that are not geo properties are always transferred.

• Separate multiple geo property names with spaces.
• You can use the wildcard * in expressions, for example, point_user* to transfer all geo properties that begin with the string "point_user".
• The default value * transfers all geo properties.
• Use an empty string to prevent any geo properties from being transferred, except for those that are required by a geometry's schema (point_position for point objects, as well as face_offset and face_vertex for meshes, and so on).

Outputs

out_geometry

The new geometric object, without the deleted points.
