nique name like in your example {0;0},{0;1},{0;2},{0;3} where each path contains 11 elements(curves,points,values,etc)
so if you want to restructure the structure first right click on path mapper and take create null mapping which reads your current path structure into the component
after that you can additional write on the left side to the existing path (i) as variable for the elements and then on the right side type in the structure you want to achieve
maybe {A;i}(B) so after that you have 11 paths where each have 3 elements
hope that helps…
are on their own paths, but the first branch contains 3 curves and the second one 2 curves. If you want the same result for all pairs of curves you'd need to split up the first and second branches, so that all curves are on their own branch.…

s.
Where as 10 by 10 Domain Divide = 100 values
To rectify simply increase Domain Divide inputs by 1 to get 11 x 11 = 121
Thirdly
The Data Matching in the Dispatch Component is for 121 values on 1 branch to 121 values on 11 Branches.
I've flattened the pattern and now have 121 values on 1 branch for each input, which produces a result of open and closed panels in the same shape as your image.…
all normals got pointed to the outside.
But I am still not out of the woods - even though the normals are OK now. I attached a 3DM file baked from my current GH layout. The part is made using 4 basic steps: (1) capping the outside surface which is made by joining 2 surfaces, each lofted from 11 polyline curves, (2) capping the inside surface made by lofting 11 circles, (3) whacking 5 units of height off the bottom of (2) by doing SDiff with a 5 unit high capped cylinder, and (4) using SDiff to subtract (3) from (1)
Step 3 is necessary to allow for a solid bottom thickness of 5 units. All the surfaces are NURBS, none have been converted to meshes.
I would have thought that there would be no problems printing this part because it is made from only solid surfaces. The 3DM file has no naked edges - which is what I expected. But my generated STL file is 23.19 MB in size and the 3D Builder program says it has errors. The 3DB program "fixes" the errors, but when it does so it closes the top of the part, so that function is useless. 3DB will also simplify the STL file and create a resulting file that is much smaller, but this also has problems that would result in a failed 3D print.
I totally realize that my problem may lie completely outside GH & Rhino and I don't mean to add clutter up this board with extraneous posts. It's just that I have not had issues like this until I tried the idea of joining 2 lofted surfaces that have reverse twists. I have made many parts before that included reverse twists - but not lofted surfaces. Here is just one example: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1606442…

onsecutive points at the same height then your 'Break at discontinuities' component eliminates the middle point completely and then the 'Interpolate Curve' component gives a much bigger bump in the wrong direction. This was enough to get curves to meet from opposite sides.
I fixed this by changing the heights to 1.1 or 2.9, rather than 1.0 and 3.0, but it took a little while to work it out! Sigh.
I attach a new version. But I actually preferred it as it was before. See what you think!

p.s. in the first list, elements 11, 12, 23 and 24 go from 1 to 3; elements 17 and 18 go from 3 to 1. In the second list, elements 6, 17, 18 and 29 go from 1 to 3; elements 12 and 23 go from 3 to 1. Given the above fix, these can be easily seen.…
