"Any chance you can post your definition? It's so much easier to trouble shoot these issues with the geometry and the definition. Chris"

"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…"

"The Param Viewer works as a list of adresses you can use as input for the Tree Branch. Often its helpful to do the sorting on the list of adresses. But as said above, depends on what you want to achieve. "

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!See More

Extrusion with equal distances on a faceted surface

Hello, I'm working on a wall mounted assembly which is faceted. The problem is I'm trying to offset/ extrude the surfaces with the same thickness. I can do this manually in Rhino, but would rather automate the process in Grasshopper. Attached is my ghx and 3dm files ... Thank you,KevinSee More
