Null items usually aren’t affected by operations, but in case of addition they are, since A+Null is still A i guess. I think i have the same problem with Dispatch, but also i prefer to use the Sift function so i can hold on to my Null items to keep the list structure.
Is there a faster or better way to do this other then testing for Null item to be true and Dispatching/Sifting the other item?
I was looking at making my own addition function in Python, but i couldn’t figure it out. Something like:
I gathered that Nulls are a part of using Sift and Combine in combination with eachother. The Nulls act as placeholder items until you combine the lists together, thereby keeping the list structure. (Combine is not shown in the image above)
Replacing Nulls for text might be an ok workaround. Thanks.
I see that works well for me too. Better then my workaround actually. Thanks!
I’m making a file for a client to produce technical drawings. Part of the interface is a set of panels where the client has some inputs to make a few holes, which are different for every drawing. The points for those holes can be staked out from a sideline or a centerline, so the numerical XY data for the points has to be processed differently, depending on the relation side/centerline. But i’ll also use this technique for differentiating between round and rectangular holes.
My problem is solved i think, but thought i’ll give the complete picture just in case. If you have more tips i’ll be glad to hear them.
