Hi Michael,

To better explain my query it might be instructive to show you what I am trying to achieve.
Attached is 2 nod files: I have separated the nodes into groups to make the wiring diagram more comprehensible. Here we are only concerned with the bottom dozen or so nodes that generate
faceted arrays for flows.

In the first node file "Loft>Separate>Offset.nod" there is the original "Loft" (Style:Straight) and "SeparateObj" and then a second array of surfaces that are an Offset of these. However this means the offset tessellation is no longer contiguous.

To ensure close packing of the outer base surfaces requires offsetting the loft prior to separating.
Unfortunately doing so results in the loss of sequential indexing leading to the undesirable result shown in the second image.

Despite the faces of the offset loft adjoining similar to those in the original loft; when they are separated they are indexed in a the manner shown in the image of my initial post.
