I'm super new to geometry nodes, but I need a way to turn curves into points then back into curves that won't connect the separated curves at the tips, Points to Curves seems to be the node but I'm missing something.

Example of my curves connected to each other

I'm reading through a similar question, but everyone over there is suggesting not converting to points, other suggest replacing the curve to point nodes for Resample Curve, but I explicitly need them to be points (so I can manipulate them. I tried resample and just didn't suit my needs) and then to become a curve again. "Capture the spline index before Curve to Points and use it as Curve Group ID." is a simple fix and seems to work, hopeful that's all it takes.

  • $\begingroup$ This question is similar to: Curve Group ID from Curve to Points: How to preserve separate splines in Geometry Node?. If you believe it’s different, please edit the question, make it clear how it’s different and/or how the answers on that question are not helpful for your problem. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ yes, I'm readding through that question, its similar but everyone over there is suggesting not converting to points, some suggest replacing the curve to point nodes for resampling curve, but in my case i explicitly said i need them to be points (so i can manipulate them, hard to explain trust me, i tried resample and just didn't suit my needs) and then to become a curve again. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @spatialed there isn't a single known workflow where converting to points and back would be needed. Therefore we're asking you to tell us what the workflow is, otherwise it's pointless to create content that allows a non-existent workflow, because posts on BSE are supposed to solve repeatable problems. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ This sounds like the XY Problem. In your attempts to avoid remaking your node tree you've omitted your real issue from us, for which there likely is an easier and quicker solution. $\endgroup$

The answer was simple: Capture the spline index before Curve to Points and use it as the Curve Group ID in the Points to Curve node:
