Squares selection

Hi guys. I try to explain what I'm trying to do as clear as possible.

I've a sort of "grids of squares" (1ST, 2ND, 3RD, ...), I need to select squares that only exist in 1ST, 2ND, 3D "grids of squares". As you can see, at the top I shown the required selection (possible selection that could be used for each examples). As result I need to have selected only squares that exists in each "grid of squares". Hope that someone could help me.

Hi Landscape,

Same as your case before, use containmentEx, then filter the boolean result with Gate And.

Cheers

Hi Yasser. Your definition works perfectly, it's what I wanted. But I would like to use these grids (grids could be more than 3, this is only an example).

It's ZUI, without scripting (VB, C#), you must manually add the parameter via ZUI.

Also look at the attachment with your 3dm example file.

OK, perfect. But how I can select squares as I can see in"result"? I need for each grid a selection as "result". Sorry Yasser

This is another approach without And Gate, plus your request for each grid.

Cheers

OK, it's quite perfect, is there a way to select original squares instead of "rectangle battery"??

Of course, make a new containmentEx and list item component.

- Use B output in Dispatch for P input in ConEx,

- Make a connection between Entwine to C input in ConEx and L input in list item,

- Use the index of first region [I] to pick original squares with list item.

Hi guys. I would like to connect first definition with 2nd Yasser definition. My definition grouping squares, there are 4 groups, it will be more than 4. Top group of squares must be the "right selection" for the other groups. Hope that someone could help me.
