- [Instructor] Surfaces and panels are inherently two-dimensional objects. And in order to handle rows and columns of panels, we'll need the tools to handle two-dimensional list structures in Dynamo. In the left column there are three sets of points. And I'll zoom in on the first set at the top. I would like to connect the two rows of points in the first set with lines. I'll search for line.ByStartPointEndPoint. By connecting the first set to the start point and the second set to the end point I'll get the default behavior of Dynamo, which is to create the same number of results as the number of items in the shortest list. The row of point on the top has five points. The row of points on the bottom has seven. And the result here at the end is five points. This is called shortest lacing, and all nodes in Dynamo do this by default. You can tell that it's shortest because there's a small glyph at the right-hand corner that has a single line. With the other sets of points, we will examine…
