res1 = [doc.GetElement(newId[i]).ToDSType(False) for i in xrange(len(newId) )]

TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)
newId = ElementTransformUtils.CopyElements(sourceView, ele, destView, None, CopyPasteOptions() )

OUT = res1

Check out the Lacing or @List Levels for multiple lists.

No it is not python issue. Custom nodes are made for handling multiple lists structure. Links which i provided above will help you.

hello @Kulkul
thanks a lot i really appreciate . thank you soo much. it works just if started with sections but i want to read from the created sections directly and no need to selct the desired sections.
but just to confirm the input to list chop must be from type ?? because i tried to use the the output from list transpose (elements as in the fourth snap shot) as an input to list chop but it didn’t work ??

@Arsany123 Please mark the post as solved. You’re Welcome!

@Kulkul Sure. it is marked as a soltution
