algorithmic modeling for Rhino
I am working on a variation of a staggered panel grid which is morphed with a simple rectangular pattern and then trimmed by a profile curve (using Region Difference). Everything works well except I would like to be able to traverse the panels in a very specific way for organization and labeling - that being one panel at a time, from top to bottom, from one column to the adjacent column, all the way across.
Given how the shifted grids are merged, I have been having trouble resolving how to remap the paths in order to achieve this. Any help is appreciated. I have included a list subset component with a slider in the definition (attached) to show how the panels are currently being traversed.

I'll have to study your definition to see if there are ways to structure the solution in a way that might help with getting some ordered panels, but here are few things to note:
- Producing trimmed panels is the next big item on my list and it should save you quite a bit of hassle.
- I would try to trim one row of panels at a time, this way you at least have some order.
- You can try to extract the centroid of your panels and use these points coordinate as an indication to panel locations and order accordingly.
Thanks Rajaa. I tried a couple quick attempts at getting the centroids and sorting the panels in conjunction with the centroids (using the sort list component) which changed the ordering, but not yet as desired.
I also tried skipping the merge component and plugging one of the sub-grids directly into the morph component, but I ran into the same problem of needing to reverse the i,j traverse of the grid (ideally to j,i). I'm thinking maybe I can use the path mapper to help solve this and then maybe weave the panels back together, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
