Hi again Thierry,

Your internalized surfaces "BLADES With Notches" are not sorted like the "BLADES" (without notches)

Probably because the construction method used to achieve those blades was by cutting the shape with a plane, and thus you did get 2 blade at time, one from one side and one from the opposite side.

To sort them do like this:
Dispatch (with predefined pattern "P" 0 , 1) to get in list "A" even blades and in list "B" odd blades; merged the 2 lists together to have again the sorted list.

Watch out, this solution works only for this particular situation...

To "scout" inside your definition, to understand the order of a list containing geometries, do something like this:

You should always be aware of what your datas are, how sorted, the tree structure, ecc ecc...

Cya!

:D
