And I want to place points at every possible combination of these coordinates, treating Tree 1 as X coordinates, Tree 2 as Y coordinates, and Tree 3 as Z coordinates. Also, I would like the list of points to be a tree with paths corresponding to the coordinates. Wouldn't it be nice if I could plug these trees into a Point XYZ, with a new "branch cross reference" method, and get the following result?
{0:3:5}
0 {10.0, 13.0, 15.0}
{0:3:6}
0 {10.0, 13.0, 16.0}
{0:4:5}
0 {10.0, 14.0, 15.0}
{0:4:6}
0 {10.0, 14.0, 16.0}
{1:3:5}
0 {11.0, 13.0, 15.0}
{1:3:6}
0 {11.0, 13.0, 16.0}
{1:4:5}
0 {11.0, 14.0, 15.0}
{1:4:6}
0 {11.0, 14.0, 16.0}
{2:3:5}
0 {12.0, 13.0, 15.0}
{2:3:6}
0 {12.0, 13.0, 16.0}
{2:4:5}
0 {12.0, 14.0, 15.0}
{2:4:6}
0 {12.0, 14.0, 16.0}
In this form of cross referencing, every combination of individual branches from the different lists is used as separate input, and the output for each combination is put onto a branch in the result whose path is the concatenation of the input branch paths used.…

The best way is to use a C# or a VB component to transpose these
lists. I think in C# you can use transpose directly. You can ask this
on the VB/C# forum on our new website, www.grasshopper3d.com

o three parts:
branch 1:
{0;0} N = 3
{0;1} N = 3
branch 2:
{1;0} N = 5
{1;1} N = 5
branch 3:
{2;0} N = 30
{2;1} N = 30
parthmapper won't change the length of branch, explode tree won't give me two branches in one output
…
ches it with the first branch in Tree B (and then the first branch in Tree C if more than two trees are involved).
I'm planning to add better branch matching logic, but I'm not going to touch it until I have a good idea about what's needed and how it can be accomplished without breaking existing files.
So, the branch "address" is only used to sort the branches in a single tree. Thus, a tree with the following branches is always sorted in the exact same way:
{0;0}
{0;1}
{0;2}
{0;3;0}
{0;3;1}
{1;6}
If you have another tree with different branches:
{0}
{1}
{2}
{3}
{4}
{5}
Then the matching will be:
{0;0} -> {0}
{0;1} -> {1}
{0;2} -> {2}
{0;3;0} -> {3}
{0;3;1} -> {4}
{1;6} -> {5}
As long as people adhere to your advice: "it is best for the addresses of each tree branch to be in the same format", there will be no problem. But it is at the moment extremely difficult to perform complex matchings.
