Hey Guys, really simple but annoying topic. I have a bunch of surfaces on rhino that i had then organize and put their numbers to later laser cut them. I forgot to internalize this information and after I opened the file today the reference was gone, I set them again and the given numbers change. I try to select all the surfaces from different angles, on different viewports but the current given numbers doesn’t match with the ones that i laser cuted and i need them correct to assemble the model ( i want to have a visual help to assemble).
There is a way that the selection affects the numbering on the surfaces?? i just select all at once as normal.
generally speaking, the order you click things in Rhino while refering them in GH is exactly the very same sorting they will appear later in GH: the first one you clicked while referencing will be item at index 0, then second one index 1 and so on
referencing the very same X geometries in a different order will result in lists that contain the very same X elements, but shuffled
As it seems in this case, window-selecting right-left/left-right doesn’t matter but top-bottom does. Also if the component is initialized before or after the selection is made.
However. OT, scnr

well… if you have nothing selected, right click → Set multiple geometries, then click on the single geometries one by one, the order you click stuff is the very same List sorting you get inside GH
Thank you, I see there is also Sort Pt. I had in mind from an old topic (couldn’t find it now), that it doesn’t work properly but in this case it does.
, it’s rather unpredictable how geometry is sorted in grasshopper, it’s somehow depending on how the selection is done. I made some tests:
