The problem is that the points are always displayed in the main coordinate system and not in the reference coordinate system.
I also wanted to ask whether it would be possible to give the points further information and then visualise them in different colours on the surface.
That’s because you’re not dealing with points. You’re dealing with local UV coordinates. In order to convert those coordinates to points that would still reference the original geometry’s location, you would have to translate them according to the geometry’s origin in the global coordinate system. Right now you’re tying it back to the (0,0) UV coordinate.
Absolutely. There are a couple ways to go about this, but the GeometryColor nodes would likely be the direction you go. You just need to determine what metrics you want to visualize and convert that to a color range or set of color values.
Hey Nicky_Boyts,
Thank you very much for your quick response.
Unfortunally i dont know how to translate the Points according to the geometry’s origin in the global coordinate system. Do you know any Example Skripts in this Forum where i could find a translation like you described it?
Best Regards

It depends on what you’re doing, but the easiest thing is to just convert the UV to a point when you have it. Both Surface.PointAtParameter and ReferencePoint.ByParametersOnFaceReference should get you started.
