Can you provide an example of branch names and what you want them to ultimately be?

What does "isolate list items" mean?

You should know by now that posting code will always get you a better answer, since it often explains the problem better than words.

Here is the file, it should be clearer then. I did it a very sloppy way, each layer I did a seperate path mapper to isolate the points and then interpolate them.

That file is missing internalized data (surfaces) and produces nothing, so is absolutely useless.

Try studying the code in this debug tool I use frequently, particularly the 'vTrE' cluster (source below):

Okay Will Do,

what is missing is just a plain surface, any surface will do. Thanks joe!

Just a few tips:

rather than using path mapper, I've found path replace to be really handy.

And sometimes rather than trimming paths, I sometimes do use path mapper (or path replace) to swap one branch with another. The problem with pathmapper sometimes is the length of branches can change with different data and it doesn't adapt, whereas path replace can adapt if you build it in.

Try {A;B;C}  → {A;C}(B) for the (lexer combo of) [PathMapper]
