Lunchbox diamond pattern relative item

I’ve been looking at this thread trying to learn how to work with relative items, but I can’t get the node to work…

Anyone know what I missed?

EDIT: Noticed that something is making this extremely slow when I tried to place spheres on all points… but what? Is it the extend surface, which I think I got from Parakeet?

EDIT: I see the partition list math is wrong now too… I’m not good with this! It uses too much of the wrong side of my brain. :sweat_smile:

The offset needs to match the tree.

So if your tree has branches like {0;0}, the offset can be {1;0}(0)

For a simple tree {0} the offset can be like you tried.

Once you understand this, I don’t think you need lunchbox anymore.

I sorta see what I did wrong now, but the disconnect I’m having is that using lunchbox, I get all points I want with one node (great for me as a right brained designer), but every other row toggles between even and uneven length, and using divide surface as in the other thread I get the same length on all rows, but I’m missing those inbetween points with one less row length.

EDIT: HOLY SHIT I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE!!!

These kinds of things are really not compatible with my brain! It simply does not stick! :rofl:
