algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi everyone

i am trying to select a specific index (item) in each branch of a tree. i am trying to do that with the Split Tree Compound. To my logic, the selection could be defined by a sequence code. the problem is: the Split Tree Compound is showing a an error message of not recognizing the "tree dots" character as shown in the photo.

p.s: i am using the Mac Version.

Thanks

Ah, you do actually need to type three distinct periods, an ellipsis character is currently not recognised.

thanks for the correction but is there a way to have a sequence like this list?

{0}[0]

{1}[1]

{2}[2]

{3}[0]

{4}[1]

{5}[2]

{6}[0]

{7}[1] . . .

No. You can set paths to be anything you like (although I wouldn't recommend using negative integers), but the item index within lists always starts at zero. The only way to put something at [2], is to have two null items in front of it.

If you want to modify the paths of a tree, you should consider using the Path Mapper, rather than Split Tree. Splitting only extracts certain items from a tree, it does not modify the paths.

i thought i can select some index  in different branches in a parametric way that develops each step forward like the list i made in my previous comment. The Path Mapper is a bit confusing for me. I am a noob :)

I better rethink my approach to the desired purpose :)

thanks a lot for the help anyway :)

The mac panel text editor appears to do some automatic character replacement - " characters to angled quotes, ... to a proper ellipsis character - I think this should be considered a bug, or at least give the user an option to disable it. 

that is true, they need to be spaced so it works as what David said.

Are you looking for something as simple as this?

P.S.  The short list of index values for each branch (0, 1, 2) needs to be expanded.

that is what i am looking for :) ,but i do not know how to apply this to my definition !
