Data path tools

Is it possible to create tools like a data path slider and maybe a tool such as series but it literally generates a list of data paths, for use with components like tree branch, maybe allowing multiple branch inputs that can be easily defined rather than manual typing into the manager.

Hi Michael,

The Slider question can already be answered with native Grasshopper components. Use any number of sliders all plugged into a [Create Branch] component.

The path generator is something that has been in development for a while as part of a few other Path Tools (just need to find more free time). Attached is a ghuser component of a [VB.Script]. It produces a list of strings, similar to the output of a [Param Viewer]. You need to supply a seed string, either from a [Panel] or a [Create Branch] but it must be delineated by ";".

Note: The numbers you use in the Seed String are the total Limbs on a Branch. i.e. if you have 2 surfaces {0,1} divided into 4 corner points {0,1,2,3} which in turn have SDL curves divided into 3 points {0,1,2}. The last Branch would be {1;3;2}.
