Hey there, I’m trying to build a simple script to adjust curtain panel parameters on a divided surface, however Revit’s appears to segregate the first batch of 10x10 curtain wall panels (the U and V grid numbers are set to “10” by default when a surface is divided). Images attached to illustrate. the script is simple for now as I was trying to troubleshooting the issue. ![Curtain panel ordering](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/3/8/38e56cd914db329a1d8c47188b9e8bdb1f8294fa.jpg) ![Script](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/e/4/e4c4a5ac616edce0259f7c2ff80a4724e668a3e9.JPG) If anyone has found a clever way to overcome this issue, I’d be super appreciative of your help. ---

The number of vvalues is less than the number of elements. 1701 vs 1800. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/c/e/ceb729d16d3623cc5b035850a2315b88e794510d.jpg) So you need to feed enough values for all the elements. Also if you need certain sequance you need to sort your elements before changing their parameters. Cheers! ---

Thank you for highlighting this, I am aware of it. However the issue I am trying to solve is the default ordering of the curtain panels. I see two potential ways forward: 1. Select each curtain panel via coordinates and adjust their parameters in this order 2. Break my default list into groups of 10 and re-locate the first 10 groups so they fit nicely in the correct order, then flatten the list [Edit for clarification] Image attached to illustrate issue still remains with increased list number: ![Curtain panel ordering_](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/5/e/5e34139ee75fd19f8aab7876dc302080772d3aa4.jpg) ---

@Andy_Grout Firstly, you’d have better control if you avoid _Divided Surfaces_.When using Dynamo, there are better approaches to paneling surfaces. Search for examples on this forum. However, when I tried to replicate your issue, I didn’t seem to have a problem. Your issue probably is a result of placing the first AC at a point away from the origin before the ACs were repeated. (I’m assuming you’ve used the repeater) Just guessing though. ![SpherePanels1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/9/8/987a746d1c514b6c9935721be1aa00d7cad063f7.png) [SpherePanels.rfa](https://forum.dynamobim.com/uploads/short-url/ng6B1eupisuajg8ZLgjUDLgqlWW.rfa) (2.3 MB) ![SpherePanels](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/5/c/5c36e07a1e7d56d124edb1d57e920c4b6442ca18.png) ---

Hi Vikram, sorry for the delayed response. Setting the first panel manually and then using the repeater seemed to do the trick to order the panels from the corner point - Thank you! With this solved, I was able to move onto the next stage and adjust parameters in the curtain panel via pixel values in an image file. ![Dynamo Reply_02](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/8/68305b7f59a5f488ce0cd6c51b8d8d844d78cc60.PNG) ![Dynamo Reply_01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/b/6b041df3240573492e9bc16c0668c71b711dff79.PNG)
