Making a list of dimensions

Hi everybody, a question for you..

I have 400 boxes on a surface, all of varying sizes - let's say between 400mm cubed to 1500mm cubed.

I'd like to do two things with these.

1) I'd like grasshopper to list how many boxes there are between a range of sizes - so how many of them are between 400-409mm?

2) I'd like to standardise them - so if we have 15 boxes that range between 400-409mm, I'd like to make them all 400mm.

So out of 400 boxes I'd like maybe 10 different, standardised types and a list of how many of each there are.

Obligatory screenshot of botched ghx.

Thanksss!

That is utterly brilliant! Only problem I have is that it puts the small boxes where I want the large ones - so I need to reverse the attractor. Such a noob question I know.. but I am a noob.

Lovely work!

Of course, the choice is yours.

Hyungsoo, you are a genius! One more thing.. I'm trying to change the influence range of the attractor curve but keep messing it up completely. Any ideas?

Thankyou so much for your help so far!
