2 GRASSHOPPER-Wishes for Rh8

Hi,

while working a lot with trees and clusters, about 80% of my bugs lead to the following 2 (well-known) issues:

  1. empty paths do not appear inside clusters


  2. paths of different lengths do not combine intuitively


For both cases there are solutions, e.g. passing the data path into the cluster via a separate line (case 1) or make a cluster that repeat the input lists somehow (2).

But…

…because of (1) it is not possible to define a cluster (2) that repeats the input if there is an empty path in it.

So my wish for Rhino 8 would be empty trees in clusters and the following foolprof-never-failing MatchDuplicatePaths - component:

please and thank You!!
