zed like this:
{0}
0 Surface 1
{1}
0 Surface 2
1 Surface 3
2 Surface 4
{2}
0 Surface 5
1 Surface 6
{3}
0 Surface 7
1 Surface 8
2 Surface 9
And not like this (which is what i have when select tehm with "multiple surfaces")
{0}
0 Surface 1
1 Surface 2
.....
7 Surface 8
8 Surface 9
Thanks a lot for your help: it is a very frequent issue and i would like to fix it.
Regards
…
another example could be:
index 3 value 6
index 4 value 6
index 5 value 6
flipped and branched:
branch 6 index 0 value 3
branch 6 index 1 value 4
branch 6 index 2 value 5

ep is to understan the logics of what you want to do, in your case, build 4 point surfaces (u also need to know the right direction to build the surfaces). Then you can write an hipotetic list (by hand in a paper) of what you want. In your case the list was (0, 1, 3, 2) (2, 3, 5, 4) (4, 5, 7, 6), etc... if you can imagine building 2 lists, each one with the sequences (0, 2, 4, 6, etcc) and (1, 3, 5, 7, etc..) then you can manage with shift and graft to finally have four lists. A( 0 1 2 3 ...) B (1 3 5 etc..) C(3 5 7 etc..) D (2 4 6 etc..). And to achieve the 2 first lists, you need to get the odd and the pair numbers. The cull pattern does that amazingy well. With a pattern True-False you get de pair numbers, and with the False-True pattern you get de odd numbers.
Hope it was clear enough…

our example file you use key name (such as my : MyEquation )
then you use Equation > (x^2 + (9*y^2)/4 + z^2 - 1)^3 - x^2*z^3 -((9*(y^2)*(z^3))/80)
where do you find all those goodies ?? all those expressions and equations
thnx…

ap value = True
Shift List = 1 --> (B,C,D,A)
Shift List = 2 --> (C,D,A,B)
You can also use negative values.
Shift List = -1 --> (A,B,C)
Shift List = -2 --> (A,B)
and with Wrap = True
Shift List = -1 --> (D,A,B,C)
Shift List = -2 --> (C,D,A,B)
The most useful Shift List action I use is to either get rid of the first or last item in a list and sometimes both.
Shift list = -1 --> (A,B,C) Shift list = 1 --> (B,C)
In the example posted above you are creating a shift list value equal to its location along the curve. The first section = 0 doesn't get shifted, the second section gets a shift = 1, third = 2, forth = 3 and because the wrap value is set to true the fifth section gets back to 0, sixth = 1 etc etc. creating the twisting effect.
The "one more stupid question" answer is Mass Addition. You will find the component on the Math tab or you can type it into the Keyword search feature (by double clicking the canvas). This component has two outputs a total amount for each list and a partial set of results giving:
List (3,6,9,12)
{0} = 3
{1} = 3+6 = 9
{2} = 3+6+9 = 18
{3} = 3+6+9+12 = 30…
