Generated fields on Value List?

closedcurve · July 14, 2019, 3:50am

I’ve seen a few components that overwrite Value List options when connected. Is that something difficult to accomplish? I’m trying to make a definition more responsive, I wish there were a way to generate multiple sliders based on geometry data but since I can’t, I was thinking about maybe connecting value lists somehow… assuming the values could be tied directly to variables.

For example, if I selected a polygon with 6 sides, a connected Value List would display 6 options… or 60, depending on the complexity.

Hello
You could look at Intralattice code there is a use of that

github.com

dnkrtz/intralattice/blob/master/src/IntraLattice/CORE/Components/Cell/PresetCellComponent.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Grasshopper.Kernel;
using Rhino.Geometry;
using Grasshopper.Kernel.Types;
using Grasshopper.Kernel.Data;
using Rhino;
using IntraLattice.Properties;
using IntraLattice.CORE.Components;
using IntraLattice.CORE.Helpers;
using IntraLattice.CORE.Data.GH_Goo;
using IntraLattice.CORE.Data;

// Summary:     This component can generate a selection of pre-defined unit cell topologies
// ===============================================================================
// Details:     - Selection menu is automatically generated (if you add a topology, make sure to add it to the selection menu, in InputTools.TopoSelect()
//              - The cells don't need to be unitized (bounding box 1x1x1) or at the origin.
