Separating result of 2 list arrays for loft horizontal rings

I just discovered the series generator.

Pretty neat tool.

You can see the result of the loft which makes sense because it is a series.

However I would like to loft not like 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4.

But rather 1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3 between the two towers.

I looked into the list tools but was not able to generate what I am looking for.

I am not even sure if that is possible.

In a simpler version I just generated the surface and moved and rotated it.

That works of course, however here I was just looking into the ability to

spit lists.

If you have two lists of curves like this

{a, b, c, ..., z}
{A, B, C, ..., Z}

and you want to change it into:

{a, A}
{b, B}
{c, C}
...
{z, Z}

Then firts make sure both lists have the same Branch layout, and then Graft both your lists. This will put each element in the entire list into it's own little sublist:

{a}
{b}
{c}
...
{z}

etc.

Finally plug both streams into the Loft input (hold SHIFT to plug more than one wire into the same input).
