Stepped Geometry Extrusion // Series?

I’m trying to extrude an object or surface one after another, stacked on top of eachother. I can’t figure out an easier way to do it, but there has to be one.

The way I solved it, it seems very silly to copy the same silly to copy the same components 30 something times.

Let me know if there is another way!

Here is the kind of workflow you should be looking into and a core part of Grasshopper. Using Lists and Compounding Transformations. A general rule in GH (with exceptions) is if you have to copy / paste over and over any part of the definition then you are doing it wrong. Also, learning to compound transformations will greatly increase computation time.
