Re dimensions question: if you were to Construct a grid 2x1, you would get a 1-D line; if you specified 3-vector origin, you'd nevertheless have 3-D positions. 2x2 would give a 2-D quad. Ergo, I x J x K x 1 yields 3-D not 4-D connections.
You should be looking at the DX data format (methinks you're outgrowing the general format with the sophistication of your data objects). You could then attach an attribute (for example) to a field to flag the fact that the 4th dimension is only 1 thick in those cases where it is, and have an Attribute fetch that value to throw a Switch in the net to properly deal with that instance vs. a "fat" 4th dimension instance. There's no way to add such 'advanced' capability to general files (or if there is, I don't care, cause I wouldn't waste time trying to force it to do what DX format does so much more elegantly).

This may seem like a dumb question, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.
Is there a string concatenation operation in DX? I've tried the + operator on two strings (in Compute), but that doesn't seem to work. Append is not what I want either.
Any help is, as always, very much appreciated.
