I am trying to use the If Expression to perform the scaling function on a group of breps or only a single brep.
At present I have a length A. Length A is my new length I wish to scale to. I also have Length B, which is the Max & Min Extents of my 3 Breps. If A-B<0, the if expression returns True. If A-B>0, the if expression returns False. This part I am happy with.
Based on this True/False Answer, I would like to select which breps I perform my scaling function on. So if there answer is True, I would like to select all 3 breps and scale according to my scaling factor. If the answer is False, I would like to select only one brep and scale only this brep.
Is there a way to do this with the Expression function? Or do I need to be going round this problem a different way?
Below is my first Expression which returns true or false. From there on, I am not sure if a further if expression is the right way to go, as it will only return a List from either A or B depending on the True/False Statment!
To simplify the problem, It is okay to make Brep A, Brep B & Brep C (See image above) all cubes of length, width & height of 1m.
Therefore if you positioned Brep A at the Origin and then staggered B & C, the total length would be 3m in the x direction.
Back to original question, If I wanted the new total length to be 4m, the expression would only select Brep B (Cube in the middle) and scale by 2 in the x direction. However if I wanted the new length to be 1.5m, then the expression would select Brep A,B & C and scale by 0.5 in the x direction.
Don’t sure I answer the question, but you can use Stream Filter, it was difficult for me to discover this component
Input a 0 in G and input 0 will the output
Input a 1 in G and input 1 will the output
…
The only problem is when you input a datatree in G. It doesn’t work (from what I remember). For that I made special components.
