- [Instructor] If you've invested time in planning, outlining, determining inputs and outputs and finding appropriate components for your script, connecting things together should be relatively painless. As you connect components and groups of components, it's important to inspect and consider data tree structure, data flow requirements and clustering opportunities to make your script as resilient, flexible and useful, as possible. First, we're going to get the mesh object from our Kangaroo solution. We can get the mesh by setting a specific arbitrary data tree path for that input in the Kangaroo solver. I'll go to Sets, Trees, Path mapper. And I'll connect the mesh input. To set the path, I'm going to right click on the Path Mapper, and set the null mapping. And then double click on the Path Mapper to change the output to some arbitrary path, we'll call it 57. Now I'll plug that in to the mesh input. I should be able to see that that is working by going to Params, Param viewer, and…
