Input values/data based on drop down menu

[eugene1 (Eugene)]

Hi All,

I am relatively new to grasshopper and was wondering if there is a way to have inputs for certain components be based on drop down menu. I created clusters to define windows which require multiple inputs. Some of those inputs are based on the type of window (ex. frame %, sill height, constructions etc.). I am looking for an efficient way to streamline this without creating a complicated maze with lines.

All help is much appreciated!

Thanks
Eugene

Check out Params (tap) → Input → Value List
or
Menu that takes an input (like a font table) Human → Item Selector

It’s only a bug if there are software requirements. Anywho, you can add this line to prevent the code running before it has something to work with (i.e. attempting to populate with nothing): [2021-01-08 16_07_16-Grasshopper - 210108_PopulateValueList_01_] 210108_PopulateValueList_01.gh (4.2 KB) And these bits to avoid the item selection error raised when populating an empty value list: [2021-01-08 16_33_02-Grasshopper - 210108_PopulateValueList_01] 210108_PopulateValueList_02.gh (4.4 KB) …
