Connecting values from a list with lines or curves

[ohmarinus (Marinus)]

Hi,

My question is fairly simple I think, the screenshot should illustrate it fairly well.
I’m trying to combine the data from the left panel into a list with the point data of 20 objects in a way that the first point of each object is connected to the first point of the second object and so on.

I tried messing with a split list, I thought I used that in the past, but after googling a bit I haven’t found the correct solution.

In this case each object has 9 points, but this could also be 5 or 6, depending on the settings earlier in the GH design.

See here in green the points I want to combine, bottom to top:

The point data that I’m using is ordered in the original polygon order, layer per layer going up.

It must be quite simple, I just can’t recall how this was supposed to work and what was the name of the component to use. I hope someone has the answer

Flip Matrix?

Although people are generally very helpful, there are things you can do to improve your chances of getting good and quick answers. Below you will find some suggestions, but don’t think of them as rules and especially don’t think of them as guarantees. 1.

Hello, thanks for your suggestion, indeed normally I would attach the gh file, but in this case I figured it was better to only show the part I wanted to ‘flip’ to keep it as simple as possible. And low and behold, your suggestion worked!

I still think I that I solved it in another way, but it seems that flip matrix does exactly what I’m looking for in this case. If I find the solution I had in mind when I started this I will post it here, I believe it had to do with some Voronoi sunflower project I did about a year ago.

Thanks a lot for the useful suggestion.

3. Attach minimal versions of all the relevant files
If you have a gh file you have a question about, attach it to the post. Do not expect that people will recreate a file based on a screen-shot because that’s a lot of pointless work. It’s also a good idea to remove everything non-essential from a gh file. You can use the Internalise Data menu option to cut everything to the left of a parameter:

Simplifying a Grasshopper network

If you are referencing curves or breps or meshes from Rhino, you can also internalise them so you won’t have to post a 3dm file as well as a gh file. If you’re unsure whether all the relevant data is internal to the gh file, try opening it in an empty Rhino. Does it work? Good. No? You’ll need to internalise more.
