Grasshopper to Tekla run command?

[Lydia_Diepenhorst]

Hi everyone,

Im trying to set up a system that has multible combinations/ options, but the Tekla components in grasshopper dont seem to react to the streamfilter/ Value list.

The sliders work, but when I want to seperate and exclude items on my value list like for example a beam, it doesnt work (see first 2 screenshots). I have set all te components to “previeuw off” but that doesnt work. When I look in Tekla either everything is loaded in (witch creates duplicates see screenshot 3) or nothing gets loaded at all.

Basicly every item I put in grasshopper gets loaded into Tekla when I would like to exclude some of them.

I was wondering if there is a kind of “run” command that will only generate items into Tekla chosen by me (possibly via the value list)?

Hi Lydia,

When the definition is run from inside Tekla, every component that can generate something in Tekla will try to do so. So you’d need to feed empty input into the components that shouldn’t create anything in Tekla. Maybe you can change your logic to use Stream Gates instead?

Also enable the “Remove when input is empty” switch to avoid warnings popping up:

Cheers,
