Shortest list returning only 1 combination

By connecting 3 number params {4 elements, 3 elements, 3 elements } to a Point XYZ component and selecting the 'Shortest list' combinatoric I get 1 point only (containing the 1st coordinate of each number param) instead of 3.

The other combinatorics work fine.

I suppose there's only one value in S? That would explain why shortest list only generates a single value.

Hi David, could this be changed? It doesn't really make sense, for example, if you want the "shortest list" combination to return 3 points, one have to input 3 world coordinate systems.

Yup, it makes no sense at all. That's why 0.9 will no longer have options for ShortestList, LongestList and CrossReference matching. They are gone*. There are now components that allow you to modify the data structure, using only those lists that matter.

See my response to this question.

* If you open an old file which has these options set, they will still work, but you can only disable them, never re-able them.

Thanks David! Looking forward for the new release.

ahh... I spent hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I'm a new user of grasshopper who just opened up every manual available. It seems like most haven't been updated in a while. Will there be a newer version of the primer coming out?
