Any chance to make this type of connections?

You need to look up for data tree structure in the primer.

The components you want to use are Relative Item and Relative Items.

Hi Fred, always wondered what that component was for, thanks, very useful.

Besides, is there any documentation on it?

Thank you! Things are getting complicated:)

This is one tricky component... It took me a while to figure out that the Relative Component also admits negative indexes and paths. It's also much easier to operate by concatenating the paths and indexes in the Expression Editor. 

I've done it by cloning all the components once for each family of lines, but is it possible to do it all four families of lines in one run?

Thanks

I forgot to add the definition.

Hello Jesus,

thanks for sharing,

I think it'l take a while to digest this)

Could you explain what exactly is the mask doing?

Hello Artyom,

I couldn't find much documentation on the matter. I found this, but David's discussion was the most useful. 

I have still got component's workings held by pins... but to me the Relative Item is basically like the shifting component, but it works not only on list of items, but also on/between paths. 

The mask works to shift the paths (each level) and indexes.
