On another thread you referred to association via data as an alternative to multiple nested blocks.
Could you elaborate on what you mean? As we work intensively with nested blocks, we are really curious about other ways of addressing/avoiding their use.
Thanks, N
Certainly, I’ll make an example.

Hey @Japhy did you ever make an example? Would be interested in having a look if you did…
Can you show an example. With the new rhino 8 block and user data tools it may help sort out how to do this.

Hi Scott,
To whom is your reply addressed?
Thanks, N
An alternative to block nesting is to simply use Data as the Key, versus a Object (block), blocks themselves are very helpful in the workflow due to how they have a plane readily available.
A challenging aspect of the workflow is that user determines what qualifies as a Unique item, something you can run into with Nested Blocks as well if people start scaling them.
Here I distributed a set of Objects based on their Similar Key.
