Why is it impossible to use Switch with Capture Attribute? The connection becomes red. My goal was to use different shape every second point on resampled curve.

Just use Instance on Points instead of Switch. – quellenform Jul 09 '23 at 20:32
I do not understand how could the Instance on Points alone switch between two meshes. I have this node after Capture Attribute above (the top green connection) , and hoped to input the Switch into its Instance socket. – Ions Jul 09 '23 at 20:55
Here are two use cases: https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/291388/how-to-change-the-object-in-geometry-nodes-with-keyframes/291391#291391 Basically you would have to enable Pick Instance and then provide the index on Instance Index – quellenform Jul 09 '23 at 21:14
'Pick Instance' is the key.. btw if you feed a collection to that, it will automatically cycle through the collection's elements: https://imgur.com/a/kIPrwBj You can just link the objects to the collection, if you don't want to screw up an existing organisation. – Robin Betts Jul 10 '23 at 08:15
