Cool!
Are you going to push that out with 7 or can you distribute it sooner?
I think for all the Adobe Suites you can download a 30 day free trial if you need to.
e possible to change the component definition making possible to customize the number of outputs.Now Dispatch moves "true" values to A and "False" values to B
INPUT:
L (List to work on) -> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
D (Dispatch Pattern) -> True, False
OUTPUT:
A (List) -> 1, 3, 5, 7
B (List) -> 2, 4, 6, 8
Could it be possible/useful to modify it so it could dispatch items to several outputs, like:
INPUT:
L (List to work on) -> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0
D (Dispatch Pattern) -> A, B, C
OUTPUT:
A (List) -> 1, 4, 7, 0
B (List) -> 2, 5, 8
C (List) -> 3, 6, 9
maybe I'm missing something and there's already a component with this function... I have been searching on the forum for half afternoon, but can't find anything about it!
Thank you!…
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.…

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
