🝊 Special Neighbors
Gather infos from special-case neighbors
The Special Neighbors property outputs information about two key neighbors of a vertex — the one with the most connections (Largest Neighbor) and the one with the fewest connections (Smallest Neighbor). You can extract various attributes, such as edge direction, length, and vertex indices, for both of these special neighbors.

The Special Neighbor property outputs the properties of the two “special” connected neighbors – special in the outlier sense : the Largest connected vtx, as well as the Smallest connected vtx – in terms of number of connectons.
Properties
Largest Neighbor
The Largest Neighbor is the connected
Vtxwith the largest number of connections.
| Output | Description |
|---|---|
Direction AttributeFVector
| If enabled, writes the Edge’ direction to the specified attribute. |
| Invert Direction | If enabled, will invert (*-1) the direction output above. |
Length AttributeDouble
| If enabled, writes the Edge’’ length to the specified attribute. |
Edge Index AttributeInt32
| If enabled, writes the Edge’’ point index to the specified attribute.This is useful for targeted/cherry-picking manipulations. |
Vtx Index AttributeInt32
| If enabled, writes the Vtx’ point index the Edge’ connects to, to the specified attribute.This is useful for targeted/cherry-picking manipulations. |
Neighbor Count AttributeInt32
| If enabled, writes the Vtx’ point neighbor count the Edge’ connects to, to the specified attribute.Amongst other things, this can come in handy to drive the  🝰 Heuristic Attribute.

Smallest Neighbor
The Smallest Neighbor is the connected
Vtxwith the smallest number of connections.
