Cull Index Issue - List Item 0 Gives weird Integer

Hello to everyone.

I know a lot of people say this at the beginning of almost every question, but I also have a problem which might seem dumb and/or super easy. Therefore please excuse my ignorance.

What I am struggling with is that I am using List Item to extract the first item (0) of a list and instead of getting that as an integer, I come out with a weird number (223).
To further elaborate on my process, I use Pufferfish to tween the two guiding curves of a surface (after I have done a clean up of the initial surface) and then I want to use the Pinch and spread component on all the -so to say- “internal” tweened curves. Thus, I would like to remove from the tween result the initial guiding curves by using cull index.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

The list you are extracting data from is a list of curve data, not integers. When you extract the first curve (at index=0) and then plug it into an integer component, what you get is the length (rounded to the nearest whole number) of that curve.

Thanks David.
I get it now. I was not aware that I can extract the length of a curve by combining List Item with Integer.

It has nothing to do with List Item actually. Plug any curve into a number parameter and you get the length.
