triangulate my mesh faces thus i was getting 7 points per polygon. 7 outputs needed. It works with 7 outputs even if 3 of them are not being used.
Problem solved!
Thanks so much for your help!

business that requires a lot of relationships between sliders.
For example if a Slider is giving a value between 3 and 7, a second slider should output between 2 and 10 in even numbers and a third slider only from 1 to 3 in 2 digits, while if the first slider goes above 7 the others also change accordingly to a relationship formula.
I know this can be done otherwise using other components but the beauty and functionality of a Slider with controlled inputs is that first: it makes it simple to achieve the relationship and second you have a perfect visual "input data display value" at hand.
One thing is to have a components modify a slider output by say -30% and one thing is to have the numbers on the slider giving you an exact display and control, or going from Integer to Floating: instead of using 2 sliders and let a user know when is one or the other.
Is like the weakest link of a strong chain.
I just find sliders to be beautifully simple and yet potentially very powerful tools if they could dynamically change and become little control panels in their cluster context.
This is one of the most desired function I am wishing for a long long time.

l at each point intersection, less 14. align holes to common angle between each 2 points of intersection (so ovals align with curve)5. copy 4. 360/60 about center circle (creates 6 curves rotated thru 360)6. it appears there a 3 more sets of curves that need to be taken care in the same way as 1 thru 4 (see colander pic)6. project the oval patterns onto, 1/2 a sphere somewhat larger that the surface circle, to avoid extreme oval distortion.7. needs some Boolean subtraction of holes from sphere surface
Does this simple road map have some merit?

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.…

Integer = 0 To 9
val *= 2
lst.Add(val)
Next
Since val is a ValueType, when we assign it to the list we actually put a copy of val into the list. Thus, the list contains the following memory layout:
[0] = 2
[1] = 4
[2] = 8
[3] = 16
[4] = 32
[5] = 64
[6] = 128
[7] = 256
[8] = 512
[9] = 1024
Now let's assume we do the same, but with OnLines:
Dim ln As New OnLine(A, B)
Dim lst As New List(Of OnLine)
For i As Integer = 0 To 9
ln.Transform(xform)
lst.Add(ln)
Next
When we declare ln on line 1, it is assigned an address in memory, say "24 Bell Ave." Then we modify that one line over and over, and keep on adding the same address to lst. Thus, the memory layout of lst is now:
[0] = "24 Bell Ave."
[1] = "24 Bell Ave."
[2] = "24 Bell Ave."
[3] = "24 Bell Ave."
[4] = "24 Bell Ave."
[5] = "24 Bell Ave."
[6] = "24 Bell Ave."
[7] = "24 Bell Ave."
[8] = "24 Bell Ave."
[9] = "24 Bell Ave."
To do this properly, we need to create a unique line for every element in lst:
Dim lst As New List(Of OnLine)
For i As Integer = 0 To 9
Dim ln As New OnLine(A, B)
ln.Transform(xform)
lst.Add(ln)
Next
Now, ln is constructed not just once, but whenever the loop runs. And every time it is constructed, a new piece of memory is reserved for it and a new address is created. So now the list memory layout is:
[0] = "24 Bell Ave."
[1] = "12 Pike St."
[2] = "377 The Pines"
[3] = "3670 Woodland Park Ave."
[4] = "99 Zoo Ln."
[5] = "13a District Rd."
[6] = "2 Penny Lane"
[7] = "10 Broadway"
[8] = "225 Franklin Ave."
[9] = "420 Paper St."

However working with python inside GH the code fails as (I'm assuming the id is included in the list ie.
[<Rhino.Geometry.Point3d object at 0x0000000000000BD0 [1611664.12669822,2952929.94466619,5788.70761766478]>]
If I print my object[0] i get just the vector, i.e [1611664.12669822,2952929.94466619,5788.70761766478]
However if i append my object, (for i in xrange (len(X)... list.append(my object[x])
The id included!?
[<Rhino.Geometry.Point3d object at 0x0000000000000BD0 [1611664.12669822,2952929.94466619,5788.70761766478]>]
Perhaps I'm over complicating this and should just use GH to group objects with the same position...
Also sometimes when getting vectors I receive long numbers such as.. 9.0122222900391e(10), and another times I don't.... Same file, script, geometry etc..
I'm quite a noobie in python for GH so any help or pointers are welcome...
Thank you in advance!

ea being the further up the column, the more dramatic the effect. For example:at 1", the effect is at 1at 3", the effect is at 3at 7", the affect is at 7, ect.I figure it must be some form of formula, but I am uncertain how to call upon other number sliders, or how to set it up.Thanks!…
