ases where you have angled shades and the component is doing trigonometry to figure out how close the blinds could be to the glass without touching. I just re-wrote the code so that, now you cannot have the blinds closer to the glass than half of the blind slat depth, which seems to be the limit of what E+ will tolerate.
Also, E+ does not like it when you input blinds that are perfectly at 90 degrees so I changed the component to automatically write out shades at 89 degrees when you connect up 90.
Using the Shade geometry as context worked perfectly for me and I am not sure what was wrong in your situation.
See your working file attached.

closest point to the very first would be removed from the list, so the initial list reduces from 100 to 98. From the 98 i pick one and search the remaining 97 for the closest. From the remaining 96 i pick again one and search in the 95,...
(The product I want to result is:
having a number of random lines in 3D space, produced by an even number of points as discribed, this shall be the initial springs for a ("selfadjusting") tensegrity. Each one of these lines (later springs in kangaroo) get divided in three areas - that means four points. These four points again are the "attractor points" of neighbor springs, so the strut "knows" where to set the next elastic connection,...the rest I´ll have to figure out)

this target list:
(a1, b1, c1, d1)
(a2, b2, c2, d2)
(a3, b3, c3, d3)
....
What I want to do is injecting one more value (arbitrary angle in my case) to each point before I cull many of them - so that each point brings its angle data along.
Any hep would be greatly appreciated. TIA

me in 19 different pipeline components. Marginally better, but I'll still need to do this operation approx. 80 times...gulp.
Here's a wishlist request for David: expose string inputs in the Geometry Pipeline for Layer and Name. If I had that, I could change one string to swap my whole geometry set! (My layers have names like "B1 red rail", "B1 blue rail" etc., then the next time I'll want "B2 red rail", "B2 blue rail" etc.)
BTW, I'm happy to script something in C# if it will help: maybe I could write something like the Geometry Pipeline that takes a string input for layer name? Hmmm...

g these times itself). If it works on selection alone, it would probably implement faster.
Theoretically, does this mean the total solving time of the definition is the 'chain of components' that takes the longest time? In the picture above, it would be the chain consisting 'point-curve-divideDistance'?
Because that still adds up only to 97%, I am assuming the Point and Slider component start solving in parallel, and the two Divide components also start solving in parallel?…
t it is rounded to 25, 100, 75. I've figured out the rounding portion, but when I plug the resulting list back into the custom preview, it doesn't recognize the data. I'm guessing it is because my rounded list is in curly brackets, whereas the unrounded data straight from the image sampler is not. How can I process this to remove the curly brackets?
Thanks,
Ryan
