List from block names

Grasshopper
1

Hi All
Bare with me - still in my early days of Grasshopper. I’ve got a bunch of blocks (well, toilets, actually), and I’d like to select them by name from something similar to value list, but using the block names instead of just 1, 2, 3 etc. I’ve come as far as getting the block names via Elefront, but have no idea how to “populate” some sort of selection window/drop down with the names. I’m attaching both gh and 3dm, as the blocks loose their names, if they are internalised (is there a way around that also?)
TIA, Jakob

Hi @Rickson
Sorry for the bad description! What I’m looking for, is to have the block names (which are catalogue numbers) visible in some sort of selection box - similar to the One, Two, Three I have in the value list. Aiming to make it simpler for other users in the office (that are not at all Rhino savy - even less so than me :grimacing:).
TIA, Jakob
Human it is! Just what I’m looking for! Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

Where do we get this List Block Document component ? i am not able to find despite having many downloaded components beyond the basic loaded ones.

Hi Akshay -

That would be from the Elefront plug-in. In Rhino 8, this is available as a standard Grasshopper component.
