Select points on parabloa mesh

Hey guys,
sorry for another of these questions, but I have problems with splitting trees and masks. Can someone help me with this problem. I would like to select points of the mesh like in the picture below.

Nobody? It’s every third point in every row, but the numbers of the points are sorted quite randomly. I can’t get them sorted better…

What is going on if I change the size and the level of subdivision? I thought it would work the same? Why does the curves have holes now and why does the splitting mask don’t work anymore?

Tweak angles a bit…

Later go through split masks if they have to be adjusted

This is only working for the first branch, not for the second and third. As a result I have problems with the dispatch on the top, before splitting the tree.

Check this one, cleaned definition a bit, so no confusion will occur in future, i hope…
