A while ago, I asked you about surface to point conversion.
I realised that we already have nodes for this, but to simply it I've compiled them into a macro: "Surface to Points".
It is going to be very handy when we can share macros between projects

Today or tomorrow I'll release a new version with macros import-export support
Here's an example for randomised pattern on a surface.
Macros certainly make node circuitry more elegant!
I can't wait to see what's Max's next great leap.
Hi Friends
I did my first Macro, thinking of creating something he could
simplify drawing work ...
In this case, we can create a circle for two points and radius
I think it works, at least to me it works

Hi Friends
this is my second Macro, a bit more complicated than the other,
returns a three-point circle or arc ;
how many interested people find the file at the following link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/yz5hf7sfxmgvorh/Circle-Arch_to_3Pts.rar
Have a nice weekend to all

Regarding your randomWrap7.nod
Your randomized pattern on a surface is both impressive and very interesting, particularly because it is seamless all the way around.
How might one create such a pattern on a plane and get the left and right matching to allow seamless tiling, at least laterally?
The pattern will inherently tile seamlessly regardless of orientation.
The only alteration to surfConvert macro necessary was to make polyline not closed.
At present this cannot be switched dynamically, otherwise I would build it into the macro.
See attached "randomWrapPlane.nod" file. I have shown 2 repeats of a 10x12 matrix, but you may change
to any combination.
RMB click of "Random" then select "Update" to refresh random pattern generation
to get desired result.
