Creating individual curves from a flattened list of point

Hello,

I am trying to create curves from a flattened list of points that I got by contouring a cylinder and dividing its curves. The points extracted have been moved around with the help of an attractor point. I wish to connect the points (vertically) to create curves and loft them to develop the final shape. I have attached the grasshopper file below for your reference. If someone could help me out with this I would really appreciate it. If anyone has a better way of doing this I would like to hear your suggestions as well.

Thank you.

Hi.

I bet you'd be in a hell of a fix if you keep going on.

Your contour curves are inconsistent with directions.

And you've messed up the data tree structure by flattening,

so, you couldn't help but getting only one interpolate curve. Consequently, loft won't work properly.

But if you want something like the attached image, we do have a solution.

Hey,

Thanks for getting back to me. Yeah I figured I was in trouble when I wasn't able to get the flattened list back into the data tree. The image you have shown is what I was going for. Could you please share your solution? I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

Thank a lot Hyungsoo. Just curious, what exactly does this 'filter' component do? I've never seen it before and would there be a way I can limit which points are drawn towards the attractor point?
