Is there a better way to browse trees and their contents?

Is there a better way to browse trees and their contents (see them highlighted on the screen) than shown below? Seems strange that such a fundamental operation would need three components.

It’d be awesome if there was something like param viewer where I could mouse over the various branches or items in their branches and see them highlighted on the screen. Does this exist?

Datatrees in Grasshopper 2.0

This is my version of a ‘Tree/List Viewer’. Makes it so much easier to literally see data trees of geometry. Two sliders highlight a branch (‘path idx’) and item (‘list idx’), so you can see the sequence of paths and geometry in lists. GH would be impossible for me without this tool. The only issue is that preview on other components must sometimes be disabled to see the ‘Preview’ outputs of this tool.

Dispatch rows and columns

I’m not sure what you’re trying to do but that’s not how ‘Dispatch’ works. Have a look at this. It includes a ‘Tree/List Viewer’ utility that makes it easy to examine data trees of geometry. Choose “rows” or “columns” to see the output of ‘SDivide’ raw (as rows) or via ‘Flip matrix’ (as columns). In either case, the ‘path idx’ slider lets you choose a branch of the tree (in blue) and the ‘list idx’ slider lets you choose an item (in yellow) in that branch. [rows_and_columns_2018Jan23a] ro…

hi,
thought the same, so I made a component to examine a tree, it shows up under the set tab.
When I already finished it,I remembered the cherry picker. For some reason I never got used to use it.
I´ll let it here for if you want to try:TreeBranchItem.gha (9.5 KB)
It´s really basic(no exception handling etc)

Interesting. Thanks Baris, Joseph.

This is how I normally do it. If I want to view the order of a list, I just drop in anotherlist item node afterwards. I find it much less cumbersome than the Cherry Picker.
