select points individually

Hello everyone,
the following definition is part of my first Grasshopper project. I hope someone has an idea to make it more economic.

The idea is simple:
I got two parallel lines in Rhino.
Divide these, connect the points with lines and make a loft.
Now I want to be able to move every point seperatly. The way I did it is using the list item to select my points, which works good with 4-6 lines but becomes rather uncomfortable with an increasing number of lines.

Any ideas? Thanks

Try something like in the attached definition. Reference both lines to the same curve parameter. Each merge component corresponds to one line, each slider will move one point.

If you want this sort of individual control over every point, i think it's better if you use something like a spreadsheet (or maybe the note component, but you don't get to slide). If you search the forum you'll find some examples on how to connect excel to grasshopper.

These solutions are proposed by users, but I think a more formal link to Excel is being developed to be included in grasshopper.

You have an old version of Grasshopper, you can download the latest here:

If you still have problems opening it, here's a screenshot, but some component won't be available in your version:
