lofting issue v2

Hi guys,

I am looking for feasible ways to model a bunch of perimeter blocks with series of rhino curve objects through lofting without going into scripting.

It is of course possible to copy and paste the definition whenever i want to create a new block, but i have about 900 blocks to do, so it's probably not an option.

It works fine when i input 1 curve object, but when i input more than one curve, GH seems to think that i want to loft a continuous object, so the resulting loft is incorrect. It looks like the key lies in list management. I have already tried split item list, but no luck far.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Cheers,

Matt

If you want to use a definition for multiple inputs you will not be able to flatten the stream at any location along the data flow (unless you are prepared to manage the relevant items back into there respective groups, which is harder than it sounds)

The pathmapper is the the best way to overcome this. for this particular case use

{A;B;C;D;E;F;G}(i) --> {A;B;C} to collapse the lower branches upto the level of each block.
