elevate boxes

Hello,

I divided a surface into sub-surfaces and then I gave to each one of them height by using the extrude component. By trying to elevate them in the z axis before this step I applied 3 different ways (by producing random, a series and a range of heights). By this way however, I don't have the control of each height separately, and I was wondering how could I assign to them specific (and of course separate) heights, because I am trying to form a parabolic form throw their height relations (maybe throw a graph mapper). I imagine that I have to create a list (or a tree) with all the sub-surfaces and then align it with the list of heights that I have produced throw the graph mapper however I have stuck here! Sorry for my "primitive" question any help would be really appreciated...

Thank you in advance,

G.A.

Hello Giorgos,

Maybe something like this:

Define a point (it can be at the center of your squares or you can move it around)---> measure the distance from the center of each rectangle to this point---> pass these values through a graph mapper---> remap those values to another domain---> move the rectangles in Z by those values:
