Never mind, I've got it ;)

I am very interested in this issue.

My solution was sort of a caveman's solution - getting the branches paths from the Param Viewer and then using multiply "Split list" components to split the branches paths by splitting index of 3:


Can somebody post a more correct solution, please?

Here is how I've done it. The key is to set the "branch" component in "renumber" mode - it then duplicates branches in the way you supplies the "P" with Paths you like, and then using the "replace" component sort them in the groups of 3. This would work equally well if the groups wouldn't be same size, and that said is more flexible than "split list".

Thank you for the reply Maciej,

I am using older version of grasshopper than 0.9+ so I do not have the "renumber" mode at "Branch" component.

Can you explain what does that "{"&x&"}" expression do in function?

changes numbers supplied to "x" into strings. anything you put into " " is taken as string (text) and use "&" as "and/+"

try putting this "{"&x&";"&y&"}" in function with x and y as numbers

You said "&" means "and/+"?
Why are there two "&" characters ("&x&")?

you can read it like this:

string/text "{" and variable x and string/text "}"

"{"      &     x     &      "}"

so that when you connect number stream to the equation you get

{1} {2} {3} .... {x}

x doest need " "

Just one more thing Maciej:

Is there some expression which can be used for reversed thing:

To remove the "{" and "}" instead of adding it?

Thank you.
