I used the Rhino.Inside ‘Get Element Parameter’ component to extract specific parameter values. However, for some reason the output does not think it’s a string, even when I feed it through a Text node. at the next component I always get a ‘Invalid Cast: String >> String’ error.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
its the null items, they aren’t removed by clean tree either. Sort of like an <empty> list but a little nastier.
text length will give you a real null to cull by.
Btw, the Get/Set parameters are extremely slow (its deep in the database), Inspect Element will be a lot quicker.
Oh man, yeah Inspect Element really wins out aside from being a large component once you active all parameters. Also, I was able to get the Cull to work using text–> Null Item and then using the Invalid Item output but your way with the text length is equally good (if not slightly faster). Thx!
