I'm confused by the behaviour using a spreadsheet as the source...
The lines show the orientation defined in the spreadsheet. The placement kites appear to be correct. But, the resulting pockets aren't what I expected.
And the property "Skip First in body" seems to have no effect...

I can make it work by making the initial pocket along the first axis - but that doesn't make much sense to me.

I also get a lot of spreadsheet out-of-scope errors whenever I try to change anything.

Yeah, I was getting the scope errors as well...but, spreadsheets can't be put I to the Body, right?

Hi all! Sorry i haven't replied - i don't hang out on the forum these days, and mentions were not set up to give me an email notification (but from now on, they are).
The reason for this behavior is that the first kite is used as the "handle" to grab the pocket by (aka reference placement). So yes, the first pocket should be placed correctly.
Alternatively, you can provide the placement to grab the pocket by explicitly, as an additional Placement object that should be selected when applying Lattice Pattern. But in this case i recommend going for separate body, as in the tutorial, because Lattice Pattern will not undo the first pocket for you.
