cture, Rhino treats them as a single flat list. For example a surface can have 10 rows and 6 columns of control-points, resulting in a list of 60 points.
But 10 times 6 isn't the only way to get to 60. If you want to make a surface out of a list of 60 points, you'll also have to tell Rhino how those 60 points should be interpreted in terms of a grid. It could be 2*30, 3*20, 4*15, 5*12, 6*10, and all of the aforementioned products the other way around.
Sometimes there's only one way for a number of points to fit into a rectangular grid. For example if you provide 49 points, then 7*7 is the only way to make it work, but these cases are rare so we always demand you give us all the information required to actually make a rectangular grid of control-points from a linear collection.
As for "Why is it, sometimes we need to attach additional value into it?", this is usually because when you divide a domain or a curve into N segments, you end up with N+1 points. For example take the domain {0 to 5}, and divide it into 5 equal subdomains. You end up with {0 to 1}, {1 to 2}, {2 to 3}, {3 to 4} and {4 to 5}. However there are six numbers that mark the transitions between these domains 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. This is why you often have to add 1 to the UCount, because the number that controls the UCount often results in N+1 actual points.…

Hello,
So to clarify, 2 out of the 5 computers are able to connect through Slingshot? And the other 3 return a timeout exception? Are all 5 of the computers able to connect with workbench?
I have this :
list 3 : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
list 2 : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
list 1 : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
list 0 : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
and I want to group the points of index 0 in a branch, the points of index 1 in another branch and so on.
I attached a file in which I generated the points.
Thank you in advance for your help !

g to keep the {15} {16} branch structure because its keeping the organization by floor level.
Any insight into how the Curve Plane Intersection is matching the branches for operation would be helpful as well.
Thanks!
