Hello,

I need get only the first value of a list inside a list.  
Can someone help me? I’m a beginner in Dynamo.  
I tryed to use List.getitematindex but it returns the first list, not the first value of each one.

Thank you!

Use the out of the box node “List.Get Item at Index”  
NOTE: Be aware that Dynamo starts at zero, not one for counting  
Insert a Watch node so you can see the results in any of your scripts as well.

Thank you all, I didn’t know how to enable “Use levels” on list nodes.
