Hello,

I will simplify the example to make it easier to understand; Suppose I have a spline with 100 points:

Whenever an object distance is less than 5 cm of the spline points 1, 15, 70 and 100 the object is going to be scale down.

My question is, Can I type a manual iteration list?, in this case it will be an iteration of 4 but the output will give me 1,15,70,100

Cheers!

Hi JVerdugo,

Here is a simple set up that would give you exactly that:

Please note that the Selection Iteration would do exactly this, but selections on Splines have some problems from time to time.

In the X-Pool you might find also some interesting System Set Presets, but this content has changed over the years often, so here is just a hint.

All the best

P.S.: I’m not aware what the project is, but I like to share some ideas. Please note that the …_01.c4d and the …_21.c4d are very similar.

I feel aways a little bit uncertain with Python, but perhaps that little script helps to keep things “small”,

Enjoy

Really thanks for the examples Dr. Sassi.

Never thought about condition node to use it that way. Just for curiosity; Instead of connecting one node per value, Is there a way to input only one node, that has all the values in one line. Maybe with the formula node?

Cheers!

Hi JVerdugo,

This would be a Python list perhaps.

But that would be a discussion for the Python forum over at Maxon

However, here is a sketch, please test it carefully:

Another way, is just to set the point values of a Plane Polygon object to the values you like, it can be set or read with the Iteration and point node.

The key is perhaps here, that you can import and export ASCI in the Structure Manger. Load a new list into an empty Main Menu> Create> Polygon Object (or just delete the data) as import adds data, it doesn’t replace it.

All the best
