Hello, have a question similar to one asked about center points for area information display. One of my "center" points keeps locating at the corner of the rectangle rather than somewhere in the middle of the floor. Please see the image below if you have answers about this. Thank you!

Hmmm...neither. The technique used is to array points on a surface and to choose the point farthest from the reference curve. As you can see in the image above, points that should show up on the outer curve for the hut area do not appear. So, a point away from the curve is not chosen.

I think I understand what's happening. There are no points that are on the inside of the curve boundary for the HUT. This is why it chooses a point on the boundary. The easiest way to solve this is to increase the U and V inputs from the Surface Divide component (default is 10, slowly increase it to 20 or something and be careful as it will slow down calculations, so don't use a to big of a number).
Best,
Are

Hi Wai,
What component(s) are you using to retrieve the center points? Area or Polygon Centre?
Best,
