SDL Lines with different heights

Hi everyone,

I am an architecture student currently working on a installation that uses vertical sticks as a structural joint.I became stuck when I try to make a SDL line with different height.

I want every point with the same Z coordinate to have the same height in order to touch the level above. For example, points from Z value of 509 (item 0-44) should have a line that rise 268 mm to the next level.(item 0)

Please advice me on how can i combine these two data and archive my goal.

Thank you guys

You need to examine your data flow more carefully and avoid 'Flatten' where it's not necessary. Specifically, the output of 'CP' that feeds 'Line SDL'. Then connect 'Contour Height' to the 'L (Length)' input of 'Line SDL' and enable grafting for that input, so it matches the tree structure of the points 'S' input.

There are other issues that I would do differently... It's not a good practice to pass data through a panel, for example. And I would use 'Brep Plane Intersection' instead of 'Contour' to get those curves. But the basic answer to your question is above.
