points, tree structure and branches management

Hi there, I'm having a problem figuring this one out. I've attached an image and and the rhino file which shows what I'm trying to get... I have 4 vertices (this can vary), and in each vertice there are x number of circles. This circles are then subdivided in x number of points. This is how it is structured... but I can't find the way to connect them properly! I was used to solve this type of things with flip matrix, but I think that because the path structure is too deep and different at more then one point it doesn't work?? ...

Any help, I would be most appreciated!

Hi Andy,

you have a [Remove Duplicate Points] component in that file that belongs to Kangaroo. Would it be possible to redo the file without this component (or at least post a picture of where the component was connected)?

Hi David,

thanks a lot for the response, I'm attaching the gh file; I replaced the remove dup pts with the cull duplicates (pts) component of grasshopper.

Thanks in advance!

Not the answer yet, but I at least cleaned up the file a bit.

David thanks a lot for taking the time to review it and cleaning it up!

I hope there's a way to manage the second part, I kept trying but I can't figure it out!

HI David, I just fixed something that I hadn't notice before, I don't know if it changes anything for a possible solution or not, i'm still trying to figure something out!

In the series component at the end I was having as input C the number of vertices of the poligon (my mistake), it should've been the number of circles around the vertices each vertice, so I just put as an input the slider that feeds the previous series component in C.
