Lines between closed curves by subsequent branch

[ShynnSup]

Hi guys!

I got stuck on a data management problem which I am hoping does not require some kind of iterative logic in order to be solved.

I have a set of closed curves, organized by ring, one ring per branch.
I need to generate the closest connection from one closed region to the other (in case the distance is identical, then create both connections).
Meaning: Branch {0;0} with {0;1} then {0;1} with {0:2} etc.

Pretty much like this operation but with branches instead of items.

List operation 0,1 ; 1,2 ; 2,3 ; 3,4 ;........

Btw is the old forum taking way too long to load for anyone else?

Hi @ShynnSup one way is with group and ungroup (to easily manage data tree), then find 2 closest points and evaluate them if are similar, based on your example (white lines), this is the result.

Beautiful! I fixed it for you.

Hi @ErickVasquez, thank you! Very smart solution!

[Joseph_Oster]

I love the fact that it’s wonderfully simple, esp. if you strip out the part that creates surfaces.
Really nice trick there with Group, @ErickVasquez. I hope I remember that one, thanks.

yeah groups to avoid pairing paths. @ShynnSup I’m curious about your discussions always related to connections and some tessellations. I would like to know what it is about or any chance to see your final works?

thanks @Joseph_Oster, I think this is the shortest way when you work with objects.

Best,
