Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

so, sort of moving on from http://designreform.net/2009/04/rhino-grasshopper-tower-tutorial-pa... and http://designreform.net/2008/06/grasshopper-david-ruttens-s-shift-t...

i'd like to make a twisting tower of polygons rather than elipses, with lines connecting the vertexes of the polygons from level to level, where i can use sliders to:

set the number of sides in the polygon

set the number of floors

set the rotation from floor to floor


currently, i can get it to do all of the above except make lines from floor to floor. i can only get it to do lines from the first floor to every other floor at once, rather than from 1 to 2, 2 to 3, etc.

i might add that it's no problem to do what i want if i only have two "floors".

there is no point to this other than that I am trying to learn how to control the data. it seems that i need to manage the lists somehow, but i can't figure out how to overcome the fact that it breaks down my list from the move box into groups of coordinates, each group representing the same point on each polygon, from floor 1 to floor x (the top floor). thanks in advance.

This should do it.
