Trouble with definition - not sure about component

Hello,

I built this paneling definition by watching a tutorial, and there are some inconsistencies between my version and the one used in the tutorial. I used a Domain squared component instead of a 2d interval component since I read online that domain is the equivalent of interval, but at the end of the definition I am only coming up with two point ouputs for each of the sub surfaces. I need four points in order for the paneling to work properly.

Hope someone can help!

Thanks

The SDivide component has changed since the tutorial instead of the out put containing all of the points for one surface it now outputs columns of points. In this example 2 points in a 2 columns.

To fix this in the past you would use a Path Mapper Component with {A;B;C} --> {A;B} but this has been made simpler with the introduction of the Shift Paths Component. By Default it is set to -1 and will collect all of the points for one surface into one branch.

Double click on the Canvas to get the Keyword Search pop-up and type "shift path" or it is located on the Sets Tab>Tree Panel. Then take the output of the SDivide and pas it through the Shift Paths
