How to get the number of the tree depth?

Hi,

The function [Trim Tree] has an input named Depth, which requires a number, like 3.

I always want to get back to the branch level {A,B}, but the starting point can be {A,B,C} or {A,B,C,D,E}. So the Depth should be resp. 1 or 3.

What function do I need to get the branch level with a number as output, so I can control the Depth of the [Trim Tree] function?

cheers,

Bas

Hm, not sure if there's an easier way:

but I usually use [Param Viewer] to get the branch paths as text,
[Split Text] using ; as the separator,
then [List Length] to get the depth of each branch.

Hopefully that's enough to go on (don't have the time to mock it up sorry)
or hopefully there's an easier solution? it's always felt a bit clunky..

Hi, indeed that is a clunky way around. But at least I can continue my work.

I hope that someone else has a better solution or that a function to do this job will be implemented in an update.

How about using the dedicated DeconstructPath component:
