Connecting lines to points on divided surfaces

I have 11 surfaces, which I have divided with points and stacked on top of each other. I am trying to connect the points on each surface with the points above. This has worked for about half, but for the other half, the lines connect to the points on the opposite end, creating a crossing pattern. I am not sure what is going wrong, I am using the same definition for all. I’ve attached a rhino screenshot of the successful lines and the ones that aren’t working, as well as the grass hopper definition. Thanks for the help.

hi joe...you can fix it in many ways...the quick way would be to flip the surface to get it to work...make a copy of those surfaces, where you need both way (upward / downward) looking faces.

This should work i hope...if not you have to make some changes on the list...on every second surface

Best regards

Thanks for your response

I tired to flip the surfaces but that didn't work. You suggest rebuilding the surfaces?

Thanks

I tried this but some of the lines still crossed each other.

means your surface UV are facing different directions. You need to be careful making surfaces in rhino that you start and end them from the same direction.
