I want to copy a line 5 times, but at different distances. I’ve been doing it with equal distances, but I need it with different distances.For example, copy 5 times at distances of 3, 10, 6, 2. ![6](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/c/e/ceffd568e4f79e9eb809f79eb27c3fcf58ca1621.png) ![7](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/8/c/8c63dd143d409552c3b77b958a0cd20f2f6431e8.png) thx ---

This is the exact same topic you posted before, just with different values. Please make sure you’re not making redundant posts when you could just extend a topic (with a valid follow-up question). Please also make sure you’re making a valid effort to understand the solutions you’re being given. You have a graph that makes copies at given distances. Your first list just happens to be equal distances. This one would be whatever distances you need. ---

The topics are different. The first topic is about how I can copy a line n times at a fixed distance ‘L’. The second one is about copying a line n times but with different values of ‘L’ . I’m an amateur here. Thanks. ---

But that’s where you have some responsibility in understanding the difference between the nuance of specifics and a fundamentally new problem. If anything, that’s why this should have been attached to your original question, but the request is still the same: “How do you copy a line multiple times at multiple distances?” Whether the distances are equal or different has no effect on how you implement that solution. You provide a list of distances to move the line. How you get those distances and what they represent is irrelevant. To move a line 5 times at 5 distances would require you to provide 5 values (one for each offset). We’ll call those values `a`, `b`, `c`, `d`, and `e`. Those values can be whatever you want. If they need to be equidistant then you need to create a sequence of equally spaced values (which you did in the first thread). If they need to be different values then you need a way to provide those values. Scenario 1: `a = 0`, `b = 5`, `c = 10`, `d = 15`, `e = 20` Scenario 2: `a = 0`, `b = 3`, `c = 10`, `d = 6`, `e = 2` // this is assuming your example values are absolute Scenario 3: `a = 0`, `b = 3`, `c = 13`, `d = 19`, `e = 21` // this is assuming your example values are relative ---

Prove a list of values into the L input of your code block.
