This is actually a fairly tricky operation...It's doable with native components, but a script will perform this operation much more simply.

The code inside the script:

Private Sub RunScript(ByVal Pi As Integer, ByVal T1 As DataTree(Of Object), ByVal T2 As DataTree(Of Object), ByRef A As Object)

Dim NP As New GH_Path(T1.Paths.Last)

For P As Int32 = 0 To T2.Paths.Count - 1
    Dim PathAppend As New GH_Path(NP)
    PathAppend.Indices(Pi) = NP.Indices(Pi) + 1 + P
    T1.AddRange(T2.Branch(P), PathAppend)
Next

A = T1

End Sub

David, i use a same component in RCE( my plugin) but my component use only grasshopper's component. It is a bit slow ....

Can I use your script instead? It is much faster and more efficient to execute...

Of course! I'm probably going to add it to Tree Sloth as well, but by all means use it.

Thanks.

All VB components on the trees are interesting.

This allows to better manage data tree.

Best,

This might also do the trick, however it can't beat David's script.

Cool! You're using Tree Sloth!
