Here is one way but...

• it required filtering out "long lines" that wrap (purple group)
• the results, as seen using my 'Tree/List Viewer' tool (included) may not be quite what you expect since the short line segments "wrap" in a different way that might be difficult to use?

I forgot to include the 'Tree/List Viewer' tool - attached.

Hi.

Try to use "Relative Item". Best.

I tried that but didn't know how, thanks.

You could use one less 'Series' component:

"Relative Item" is clearly the better approach and the one I tried first.  But it's been a long time since I wrote any path mapper code and while I got the relative path syntax using "{}", I had forgotten the list item syntax using "()".

Using Hyungsoo Kim's code, it's interesting to note the many variations that are possible and the effect they have on the results.

In the construct point ('Pt') component, either 'X' or 'Y' can be grafted; the results will change from columns to rows of diagonal lines.

Four variations of the 'RelItem O (Offset)' input result in diagonals going the opposite direction; or you can skip the list 'Item' component and connect the panel of offset paths directly to 'RelItem O' and get all four variations at the same time.
