Divide tree by branches

Grasshopper
1

This is probably straightforward, but I’m stuck. I have a data tree structured as x main branches, each containing y sub-branches. I need to dynamically separate the main branches so that I get x individual trees, each retaining its y sub-branches. Could you help me with the path manipulation?

You could try something like this:

Alternatively you can use SplitTree - the syntax can be copied from here (not sure if there’s a more recent post available):

You cannot. To break a tree into separate trees means to take the tree and split into separate streams via a component like Explode Tree. You will always need to manually match the number of streams to the number of tree divisions you make. Or you target a branch via Tree Statistics > Path Compare > Tree Branch (shorthanded Split Tree) but then you need to put down as many components as divisions of the tree.

The better question is why you need to split the tree instead of using it as is, and targetting sections of it as you need to do things with it.

Thanks so much @Artstep

Thanks so much @Volker_Rakow

Or vice versa: Why did these data streams get entangled in the first place?

Hie,

Maybe you are right. I show you an image.

Thanks.

Can you give more information on generally what it is you are doing?
