@Dr-Sassi Ah yes, sorry, that nodes modifier is the one that Dominik created and has available for download. It's basically what he built in the video you linked, but with lots of built in options and parameters all packaged together in a single modifier. I would imagine the same problem would happen because I think what's happening is the 'explode mesh islands' is seeing the geo of the inside cube and the outside cube in my nodes mesh I created, and since they are not actually connected geo, the explode node is seperating them and and those are getting iterated.

Using modulo to only use odd or even iterations sounds like it could work because I think I essentially just need the iterations to skip 1 every time, so it would take iteration 0,2,4,6... etc.. That being said I'm new to nodes, and I'm not very proficient in Xpresso, so I don't have the knowledge to implement this idea. I'll do some searching in the manual.

Thanks for your help!

@Dr-Sassi, Thanks for the reply! yes, that's the video. I've attached my file. Thanks for taking a look! If you turn of the Nodes modifier, you'll see how I intended for the objects to be nested together.

NodeBlock_03.c4d

I am using a nodes modifier created by Dominik Ruckli called 'match size', which basically justifies objects to other objects so you can line up a series of randomly sized objects and have them all position to be edge to edge.

He uses an explode mesh islands node to take a cloner object inside a connect object, and then iterates through each clone, to match it's position to the one before it.

The problem I'm having is that the object I'm cloning is one object inside of another. It's essentially a cube(blue one in screen grab) within a cube(red one) that I used a nodes mesh to create, but when I run it through this setup, it wants to seperate out the inner cube from the outer and then line all of those up, instead of keeping the two cubes together as one.

I'm not sure what a solution to this would be. Maybe a way to tell it to iterate ever 2 objects?

Thank you!

Thanks for the reply, perfect solution, thanks!

More specifically I have two extrude line nodes, and I want to take the offset of one and use it to drive the other. I can't seem to find a way to get an output for values of a node, only inputs. Is there a way?

Thanks!
