Move each item on a list without List Item

Grasshopper
1

Hey!

I have 14 consecutive circles in a circle node. I want to move each circle on the z axis such that it forms the shape of a Christmas tree, with the distance between each circle being 10 units. But I do not want to use List item, coz what if I had 100 circles, then it would be very time staking. I’ve faced this issue many times but haven’t found a way yet.

Hope I’m making sense. :slight_smile:

Disclaimer: This might be a repeated question here, but I haven’t found a desired solution to it yet, hence the post. Please bear with me.

TIA!

Post your file?

Use a series component? Do so for the radii of the circles and the corresponding amount of times you wish to move them. Or, use one radius only, still copy-move the circle X times with series and then scale them gradually.

Thank you for your prompt response.

Do let me know if the file is accessible, I’m new here and I wonder if dragging and dropping the file worked :sweat_smile:

P.S. - In case you do respond here again, I’m calling it a night, will come back here in 24 hours. Thanks again!

That works actually.
However, what I’m looking for is how to move all items on a list to different distances. Wonder if I’m making sense.

Your question must make sense if anyone is to solve it, including you.

Are you saying that you want to non-uniformly stretch the christmas tree in the vertical?

I’m trying to, meanwhile if someone does, that’d be great lol.

That has been solved by @Joseph_Oster

What I am asking for is this -

Say I have a node with curves/ points/ objects/ whatever else, doesn’t matter. This would be a list, right? Like below:

And I have a range of numbers.

Question is - how do I move each of these objects on the list to different distances defined by the range?

Okay, here’s how I sorted this out.
