Hi Guillermo,

Have a look at attached definition.

Let us know if something is not clear.

Hi Riccardo,

Thank you so much for the interest! 

What I need is parallelepipeds with the same base but the upper face extruded in different heights, and with the edges of the prisms touching each other.

I was thinking of grouping the points in groups of 4 so they form a square, and then extrude those surfaces...

Thank you again for the response and I would really appreciate your help.

Cheers!

Guillermo

Well, by grouping points in groups of 4 you can, indeed, do as you said... but it would be much harder, first doing an array of points and then grouping by managing the data tree ecc ecc...

Much simpler is to still use the "Square Grid" component, look at its outputs:

the first output is the "cells" as a tree, square curves, exactly what you need;

the second output is the vertex of those cells, not repeated, thus it results as an array of points with 1 more points per row and 1 more point per coloumn.

Try this.

Yes! that was exactly what I mean, I`ll work from there.

Grazie mille Riccardo!
