Complex tree issues

Hello,

I'm working on definition which is creating a very complex tree with hundreds of branches that I would like to sort. The problem is I need to Loft between some lines in the tree, but I have no way of sorting through the branches without manually adding the paths - which is very tedious.

Can anyone help in how I might be able to adaptively generate the resulting paths for a complex tree?

Attached is an image of my definition.

Thanks!

Hi Kevin,

Are you trying to loft 2 crvs, 4 crvs? If by chance you are wanting to take the curve located in {0;0;3;0;0;0} with the curve located in {0;0;3;0;1;0} then you can use the offset branch component and set it to (-2) in order to flatten the 5th branch level. This would put those two curves into the same list so that you can loft them.Does that make sense?

Michael

Hi Michael,

I'm trying to run all the curves that are generated from a variable input. So it is unbound. I tried the Relative Item, but can't seem to get it to select through the variables. It just gives me a Null. Any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion, this is a new Component for me and will be very useful I am sure.
