hey all you need to do is this

 

in path mapper write

 

source {A}(i)    target {floor(i/(item_count/46))}

 

and you have to make your tree in {A}(i) formaat before doing it

You just have to find posts on the forum...

 

Floor is from expression functions, item_count is a pathmapper specific variable (right-click and scroll down through pathmapper help).

another example:

I split a set of surfaces with another one and now as you can see from data tree I have untrimmed srf n=1 and trimmed srf n=3.

how can I divide n1 from n3? 

any suggestion?

 

thanks

do you know/it is possible to link the path mapper to the slider that is changing the amount of divisions?

at the moment the division inside the pm is set to 46, but when I change the parameters I need also to change the number inside the pm, right now I am doing it manually, but I would like to make it automatic.

what do you think?

It's not possible to change any of user defined variables with in the Path Mapper.

You would need to use the Replace Branches Method for grouping. An example of this can be found on the Path Mapper Help Topic scroll down to the section that says Grouping: By Replace Branches.

a new problem:

1-I have 64 sub srf (8*8)

2-I used the "Replace Branches Method for grouping" to have 8 row

3-as you can see in the image I have 8 groups, but the sub srf selected are not in row, why?

any idea?

thank you.

I can only suggest that the subsurfaces are not in the order you thought. You can order them first with a 2D sorting algorithm first before grouping them into rows or columns.
