Dynamo Lists – Levelize List

By Rami Hamati | .NET, Dynamo BIM | Comments are Closed | 29 May, 2018 | 0

Description

Dynamo uses non-types multi dimensional arrays, and this may seem as an advantage at the beginning but sometimes lists just don’t match. I’ve written this custom node to tackle these situations.

The custom node provides multiple options for making lists match, you can borrow elements from the other list or add some fixed value.

I used python to make this custom node, the solution is relatively simple and python is easy choice for this. The basic ideea is to recursively iterate through each list and detect where something is missing

To assemble the custom node just paste the python code in a python script block. Then add the inputs and outputs just like in the image to the left.
