Weave Issue - Data Tree

Hi,

I am attempting to weave two hexagonal grids and loft them. One is scaled with an attractor point. For some reason, althought the data matches, it will not work properly.

I know this is rudimentary, but it is buggin me.

Thanks

Erik

graft the inputs

Hello Erik

There are two issues

First you have to graft your data so that when weaving you get the 2 corresponding curves in one branch (list) of the weave tree output. Without grafting there are 10 curves in each branch creating a continuous loft.

The second is that since when remaping your number your target domain is from 0-1 this makes the scale go red, because of the 0 scale factor. that is why the loft stops working to. So you either need to clean you tree to remove the nulls and then loft works, or add an expression (eg x+0.01) to factor input in scale . This will result in no empty tiles, but the ones with nulls will be pointy like pyramids.

Thank you both of you for your prompt and informative replies! Alex I appreciate your continued help as your comments are always informative. I notice that some users flatten the output of the distance component. Is this extraneous?

Hello

It has to do with what you are using these distances with, meaning the data structure. If these distance are to be used with an output organized as a single list, then flatten it is and vice versa.
