Idea: Unit Conversion Component Set

Grasshopper
1

I had an idea for a handy Grasshopper widget set: Unit conversion, such as length, mass, volume, etc. Perhaps there could be a widget for each class of conversion, using two dropdowns inside the component.

There would be an input and output connection/wire.

The legend on the component would reflect the class of conversion. The user could see that:

“Foot → Milimeter”
“Kilo-pascal → Bar”

Showing that Inches to Millimeters might be more meaningful than seeing a widget group multiplying a number by 25.4.

The idea is a natural extension of the Radian and Degree conversion components.

I think Caterpillar does exactly that :slight_smile: pretty handy indeed :+1:

Thank you!

It appears that you even did my examples, unless by some random chance such a screenshot already existed, next to a unicorn… : )

Pancake can convert lengths in a, kind of, explicit way. :sweat_smile:
