Hello all I need some help here, heres what I’m trying to accomplish. For this specific project we have been having a problem where our lights won’t move with what we have copy monitored. All of our lights are off by a hair and the architect is bugging us about it. I’m trying to make a script to au…

How are you identifying which lights correspond to which linked elements? If you can’t define how they’re supposed to be related then you create that relationship. Unfortunately Copy/Monitor doesn’t track any actual element data, so you can’t get it from that relationship. Do the lights have matchin…

No mark value or anything like that to identify. I was going to go the geometry route and get the point of each light and try and make them correspond by whichever point from list A is closest to whichever point from list B. But I also thought once I do get the points to correspond how am i suppose …

[image] NRGJeremiah: once I do get the points to correspond how am i suppose to get the element again Rather than reorder your list of points/elements to match the linked elements, you can reorder the linked points to match your list. Then you don’t have to do any re-mapping of points to elem…

That’s what im struggling with. How do I get the closest point from the list of linked fixtures to the list of my light locations? I’m not sure how to sort that list other than by sort natural so its smallest to greatest (on linked side) then do the same with my lights. The other problem I’m now…

You can use Geometry.DistanceTo to get the distance to every point and then sort those points by distance (SortByKey). Then you just take the first point in each sublist (the point with the lowest distance to your fixture) and that should represent the corresponding linked element - assuming that th…

You need to get and sort the distance, not the point. You won’t be able to sort points.

[image] Sorry im really struggling with this. I’m very bad with geometry. I have my distances but isn’t it getting a distance from say list A,0 to list B,0? Since my distances are so far it can lead me to believe that the points i’m comparing aren’t corresponding because they should all be less th…

I would also like to include that I stumbled upon this node and set it up accordingly [image] Unfortunately I can’t get it to work properly. [image]

You need to correct your list structure first. Your lights are in a single list but the linked lights are a list of a list; Flatten them into a single list. Then you can use list levels (@L1) to force each of your points to get the distance to every one of the linked points. Then you can sort the di…
