    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
