ok, so i am not an expert with grasshopper, nor do i know much about
scripting, but i am trying to build a little grasshopper file and
after working for a couple of days on the simplest thing, i need to
ask you guys a couple of questions.

first, i set up a file to locate a box on a point, distribute the
boxes along some set parameters. simple. right. ok. so first off, i
used a rectangle which let me input my point, x, and y values. it gave
me a nice little rectangle that is the right dimension. then i
extruded it, and then made four copies along a vector. great. but,
next i tried to take off a face on each of the boxes. but whilst
exploding the boxes to then use a cull on, the boxes only explode into
three faces. what the? why doesn't it explode into 6? when hiding
everything but the arrayed boxes, the boxes have six faces. could
someone explain why the explode thinks it only has 3? and even if that
is what i am left with with a logical explanation, how would one
remove the same two, opposing faces from each box?

so, while messing around with this, i thought i would change the
sequence a little and make boxes right away, instead of rectangles
that are then extruded, boxes seem to explode into 6 faces. which is
good. but then while inputting the exact same parameters for x, and y,
it gave me a box that has no correlation to the x and y values that
are being inputted.

i will post an image if need be, but being as simple as this, i don't
think i really need to.

thanks a million anybody.
