thank you, its works very well!!!
I have another question please, am trying to sort horizontal elements and diagonals in two separate groups but it seems that this method not working correctly (figure) .so do you know what can be the mistake?

I don’t understand. What are the horizontal and diagonal elements? Elaborate please.

Pretty obvious, eh? The horizontal segments form circles, the diagonal elements form spirals.

yeah the rings and diagonals !!!

thank you for your answers!!!
but probably you didn’t get my question. Let me explain it in another way !!!

I want to optimize the cross-section of rings of the dome, so am trying to sort them into a separate group.
I have done sorting the diagonals(fig below) bars but the ring bars am struggling with them.
