a follow up question... how do I wrap a list onto itself at a certain frequency?
i.e. I want the list {1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9}
to become {1,4,7; 2,6,8; 3,6,9} wrapped every 3rd item

ouldn't the surface component only accept the number 8? it accepts 5 and 7. the grid is 7 points in the x direction and 5 points in the y direction. so shouldn't the u count be either 6 or 8?
it works with the u count at 5. i just don't understand why.
thank you so much for your patience with my questions.

uld be much better than Rhino at huge mesh collections. I'd personally try free Autodesk Meshmixer and ZBrush first but most designers are more familiar with rendering programs like Maya or 3DS Max. I'm not familiar enough with architecture to suggest a list as only Revit and Sketchup come to mind.
Looking more closely, CAD Exporter is only for 2D curves and points, how silly, and it requires baked geometry in a Rhino layer:
I could write a Python script to export an STL but that would be a large ascii format file instead of binary. Better to use OBJ to retain quad faces, too.
Ah, well, OBJ files are also ascii format when exported from Rhino, so it would be quite easy to make a script to export those directly to disk from Grasshopper. Here is one box, 10X10X20 in size, with quad faces:
# Rhino
o object_1v 10 10 20v 10 10 0v 10 0 20v 10 0 0v 0 10 20v 0 10 0v 0 0 20v 0 0 0f 5 7 3 1f 5 6 8 7f 3 7 8 4f 2 4 8 6f 5 1 2 6f 3 4 2 1
If I have time I'll make a little script to write such OBJ files unless you can find a native Grasshopper plugin for direct OBJ export in full 3D for meshes.…

Thanks for all…
