This is my first post here. I am trying to make a list of values that are generated by summing together values in another list.
I want to place a collection of families that have the parameter “width.” I am reading the width parameter of each type into a list. So I have all of these values, but they vary as you might expect, so the list is something like:
[0] 7.00
[1] 6.00
[2] 7.00
[3] 5.50
What I want to do is place the first family at 0, then the next one at 7, the next at 13, then 20.
So I want to add the width of the previously placed one to the x value of the next one, then repeat till they are all placed. I am trying to get a consistent “padding” in between elements. I have it working just fine to place them using a sequence where the spacing is equal, but this unequal spacing using the “padding” idea is not going well for me. I am assuming I need to do something with GetItemAtIndex and then add to the previous some how, but I can’t seem to get there.
I think there is a Node to Code item on the menu somewhere. That might tell you what you need. Otherwise, I don’t really know. I always use nodes. I don’t know how to write design script.
I had same question than you and I resolved it just now with another approach without python code or that scan node which impossible to convert to designscript code.
the solution you found @Paul_Aubin it is shorter script with few nodes, unfortunately Dynamo do not allow to convert to designscript code with the List.Scan node
