Hi sirs, Sorry for asking help again… I just want to ask why the ==node not working as shown in the photo? Both lists connected to the == node contains strings… but the output of the node are false and only 1 true… While using the set intersection node do recognize the strings that match between the lists… I know I am doing something wrong but I cannot figure out what it is… thanks in advance for the help ^^ ![list](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/8/68376bc2c9c6bbcffe9f8ae1e3ab9e363e39f13f.png) Best Regards ---

Hi, You try to compare 66 items with 908 items. When you use the lacing at longest you don’t check all lists. **Try this but be carefull with using cross lacing** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/8/f/8f68900565680a56e1f7d85016dd323c161e5bea.png) ---

hi @jw.vanasselt, thank you for the reply… yes I am scared of using cross lacing ^^… sometimes I experience dynamo or even revit crash when I do cross lacing. Do you know any alternative workflow? thanks bro ^^ ---

Little python? 🙂 ```auto out = [] for a,b in zip(IN[0], IN[1]): if a == b: out.append(False) else: out.append(True) OUT = out ``` ---

hi bro @jw.vanasselt , I tried your script but it has the same result as the OOTB box… But I think I understand now why we need to do the cross lacing… Thank you for your kind replies ^^ Best Regards… ---
