      Hi,

      I'm trying to figure out a way to calculate the following:

      In a named null, there are various objects. I need to figure out the lowest Y-coordinate of it (or basically, the lowest Y coordinate of the lowest child).

      I'm writing a script that will move another object to within 0.001 cm of this lowest point, hence why I need to know the above.

      I'm currently programming in Python, but if you know the steps I can likely reproduce this with code I imagine.

      Thanks for any insights.

        Hi Markeee,

        Any code development needs to be done with the Developer Forum.

        https://developers.maxon.net/forum/

        I can't check if the shared code is not swapped out. Hence, a security problem would be possible.
        So, there is no code here.

        What you need is the Python Node in XPresso, and read the values into a list, then call the min value from that list.

        I'm not supporting code development here; please use the link above if you have any questions.

        Examples are easy to find (google it).

        My best wishes
