perhaps you could explain what i'm doing wrong..
my aim is to have a box morph which will take the geometry im making and put it onto my curved surface. i divided my surface into boxes and told GH to put my geometry into those boxes. but before putting my geometry in the boxes im trying to tell GH to alter the geometry, so for each different value (of distance between the attractor and the box), i will get a different value of radius of circle. my geometry is constructed like this: i get the distance between the attractor and the box, divide it by a number to scale it down, i link it to the "radius" of "Circle CNR", i create a surface between this created circle and a square (which will give me a square surface with a hole in it) and then i extrude this surface. this will give me the geometry. my problem is that GH is putting all these different values (radii) of circles onto my geometry while i need it to see how much values there are and link each value to the required box so that each box will have a different value (radius) of circle
