How to metaball two surfaces that are at z level?

I have two cylinder buildings, A and B, with 10 floor each. They are at an specific distance from each other.

I want to join the floor number 9 from the building A with the floor number 9 from the builng B. How can I do this using only Metaball? or there is another way to do it?

Thanks!

Here is an example.

Hi Aba,

since your towers are cylindrical, you're probably better off creating a metaball from only two points; the centers of the circles of each tower. You can assign them different weights:

Thanks!

I attached the GH file as well. After Move are Loft and Extrude.

Thanks!

Oh that's [Flip Matrix]. The data I have is two lists (one for each cylinder) with a bunch of points in each list. However for the Metaball I need the points on each floor to be in the same list. Flip Matrix accomplishes this mapping.
