I have a bunch of points in a list that I want to connect with a polyline. I want some of the points to repeat an adjustable amount of times, but they can’t be consecutive in the list as this would cause a zero length line distance between them. How do I make sure the items wont repeat in the list. Ideally I would like the list to be ordered randomly.
If you’re interested, this project is to find an efficient kitchen design by quatifying distance of movement between kitchen elements.

How do I sort a list and create a boolean value based on whether consecutive list items are similar?
You can solve this in many ways.
If those are just points, sort them and make polyline anyway: you’ll get a warning message about the zero-length segments but it will do it as you want.
Or you can [Cull Duplicates] of your point list…
For your last question you can shift your list and make subtraction with the original list; for every value, if the value is 0 (or under a tolerance) you element is a repetition of the previous.
I was thinking of doing that but couldn’t figure out how. Please help can you show?
I mean could you show how to do second option with subtraction. I have tried but am not that skilled
Here is my new file. In the Distance Solver group, I want to test this list for repeating values and if there are, make a new seed for the jitter componentKitchen Parametric.gh (40.7 KB)
Sorry, that is I want to test the list after the jitter component.
Okay. Thanks a lot. That looks like it will do the job.
