Cleaning up script

Hi Everyone,

Can anybody show me a way to clean up this script? It is a wall of units which rotate, but the only way I could get it to (sort of) work was to copy and paste the script by each row. The units are supposed to rotate individually, which works, but the file runs a bit choppy. If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated,

Thanks,

Rob

IHi Rob, I don't know how you meant to rotate every item individually, but I chose sliders like in your defenition. Hope you like it :)

You're welcome Rob, thank you for the exercize. I wonder how you avoid intersecting items though, or isn't that an issue? And are the item meant to be asymmetrical?
Well, cheers!

Intersecting items is not a problem with this model, its ok for it to be a little unrealistic, and no, the units were not supposed to be asymmetrical. That was a mistake when I built the components. Do you know of a way I can attach these to a curved surface? I know it would be difficult with the items being in a series. I'm sorry, I'm really new to this program, and being an architecture student, they really don't give you much time to learn it!

You could subdivide your curved surface and move the items there. You'd need an orient component too. If you could upload your curved surface I will look into it. I like to think about thing I wouldn't usually think about, I'm a goldsmith, but like any grasshopper challange:) No need to be sorry, just be eager to learn:)
