Would absolutely love if the list output of "Select Divided Surface Families" node was structured as a list of lists, just like it was in 0.6.3. In 0.7 it returns a single flattened list of every family instance.

Thanks!

Can you not just build a sublist from the flattened list you get?

Yes, but the way 0.6.3 automatically sorted the families by U and V made the workflow incredibly easy to organize point data for non-rectangular surfaces. It's an especially helpful feature for architects and designers without a strong computational background, and would also minimize the amount of customization required to adapt the component to different geometry/applications.

I am just noticing this now. Please bring back the nested list structure!

Just noticed another way to approach this: Select the divided surface using Select Model Element and then use DividedSurface.UDivisions (or alternatively VDivisions) to get the information.
