GN Tool Request: Select verts closest to the selected faces

I’m trying to extract a few individual branches from a messy old tree.

If I could select all points that penetrate this main stem and then use ctrl+L, I’d have exactly the leaves I need selected and can discard the rest.

This is probably the easiest:


Just select points that are closer than some threshold to the faces of your selection.

More complex version would involve similar method but use Boolean intersect. See if you can make one of those.

Good luck!
