I want to run a script that calculate the length of a run. It works exactly as intended when there are many items (conduits and fittings) in the whole run. But it doesn’t work when it is only one element in the run. I noticed that the if statement is not working as intended as you can see in the image below. I should get the true condition since the input is true, right? I tried ScopeIf as suggested in another forum question without any luck. Can anybody point me to a solution for this? Thanks in advance ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/7/5/75c250c72e3074053a8bd206c2c9d54a1a72a1fe.png) ---

Your If node doen’t have Lacing control. That’s why I thought it was and old dynamo version. Try to connect conduit collector to the if node without list.create node. ![imagen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/e/6/e6901d0af26df8e48b38333f7106991b29cadaed.png) I thing it is a level list control issue.

Well, Thanks Manel for your time. As I said before, it works well when there are more than 1 item in the run. I just wanted it to work in all cases possible.
