Flatten Tree but still duplicating items

[Joel_Ocampo]

Hi Guys,

Good day, I have a explode tree but the couple of branches still producing a duplicated items?
I am expecting to have only 16 items but instead, it gives me a 296 items?

thanks

Sorry I think I didn’t get the question right on my first (deleted) post.

From what you’re giving us (files and text), it’s impossible to know what you’re trying to do and why you have your problem.

The problem is more likely happening before the explode tree.

Could you elaborate and share Gh internalised file?

ps: I’d advise you to always run Grasshopper with fancy wire option turned on, all gh user does

Hi Antoine,

Please see attached gh file, I only need a 15 items from the source but it gives me more items,
I tried to simply and flatten the branch, but no luck at the moment.

thanks,
Joel

I assume this is probably not what you’re looking for, but it matches what you’re asking…
If it doesn’t, I’d need more details

Have a look at this too. It might give you some ideas on how better to understand your data, rather than exploding the tree.

Hi Antoine,

Thanks for the response, I am looking for having all the diagonal curves (see lines in blue and green),
the 15 items only stick to the 2 diagonal curves in green color.

Cheers,
Joel

Hi Adam,

Thanks for this, I think you are right this is a better way to visualize and understand the data at the moment I am trying to use those curves to produce a diagonal braces but it gives me more items and I only need one diagonal brace per location.
I tried to use all the flattening, cull and delete duplicate index or items, but no luck at the moment.

Cheers,
Joel

So this seems to be a duplicate line problem
I used the component on the whole tree, but you could use it only on the diagonals if you wish (there seems to be a lot of duplicate lines).

The split tree is just another way to access a branch, especially if you don’t need all of them.
You can ofc still use explode tree if you prefer

See my definition, I first cull the duplicates, so you should only have 14 items in the tree path {0;15}.

Hi Antoine,

Thanks, what component is this? cheers.

[antoinemaes]

I thought it was default on rhino7… It’s Kangaroo

Adam’s version should work on this case though.
But beware that it only checks for the middle points, while kangaroo’s component should check for a couple of other things.

Thanks Adam, that is all good now, awesome!, cheers.
