Hi @dharman @tay.othman @JoostGevaert
Thanks for the input! Longer term we will look into integrating relays as an option in the future as I can see the benefit for people, but it is not on the immediate roadmap as we are wrapping up the beta in the next few weeks and are focused on porting the last few features from the R6 version and killing of the remaining bugs. Since we did a full re-write, it has taken a bit longer than we wanted, but those are the breaks when managing project work as well!
Anyways, to immediate issues we have broken the link between Autograph and eleFront and move the data description back into eleFront, with integrated hot-keys for propagation of these components. This means:
- Hot Keys have been implemented in GH to add/propagate the data description parameters
- Automatic Naming of data description
- Names are inherited by connected data description components (this has always been a feature)
- Autograph is no longer required
- Preview/Flatten/Full suite of parameter options are available (plus extra ones for eleFront).
All of this is available in the current beta.
This doesn’t address all the issues, hopefully is a good middle ground while we look it updating this bit of the plug-in. The data description parameters preceded the introduction of relays by McNeel as we needed something to help keep our scripts clean and organized and it has since become our default way of working, even after relays were introduced that offered some of the same functionality, hence the questions.
