Different Cull Pattern For Each Branch Of A Tree

Hi all,

I have what I suspect to be quite a simple problem to solve but can’t figure it out…

Basically, I am modelling a tower where every floor has 20 peripheral columns.
I want to cull these columns differently on each floor according to their index.

Ex:

On floor {0}, I only want to keep columns #0, #2, #4, #6 …
On floor {1} I only want to keep columns #0, #3, #6, #9 …
On floor {2}, I only want to keep columns #0, #4, #8 …

I’m pretty certain that this only requires a bit of clever flatten/graft/simplify list work but can’t figure it out for the life of me!

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Nathan

Essentially, I’d like the script user to be able to directly ‘type’ the panel circled below, without having to use the entwine component which requires the user to add a new input panel per floor

Something like this?

Or perhaps this:

Not sure if I understand your intention - also it’s better to attach minimal versions of your files:

@qythhium - YES! That character-boolean solution is genius; thank you so much!

Noted for the file sharing - apologies, I’m a newbie around here.

Thanks again!
