Model Attribute Key structure do not show sublayers correctly

By accident I discovered that Keys that have a dot in their name form a layered structure in the Model Attribute Key list. Is it by design? If so, they cut out the last sublayer and form more than one top layers.

Multiple identical top-layers “COBie”

.das do not form a sublayer

Seeing this as well. Thanks for reporting RH-81311

RH-81311 is fixed in Rhino 8 Service Release 6 Release Candidate.

RH-81311 is also fixed in Rhino 8 Service Release 6, the latest update.

Sorry, but Rhino’s quality is getting me into trouble again.
I was about to use and modify my scripts from a few months ago and it’s like they rot in the meantime and stopped working. Investigation showed that the problem reported in Rhino 8.6 was fixed in 8.7 but returned in 8.8…
I already started to be accustomed to changes made in newer Rhino versions, but I need to roll back and it’s not my first rollback in the Rhino 8.

Having dot in the Key name creates nested Key structure which I can’t reference. In my work I’m dealing with Keys coming from real project and I can’t change their name.

Broken in 8.8.24158.3001 and 8.9.24163.15301.
Working in 8.7.24134.3001

Broken

Expected behaviour in 8.7.24134.3001

My Rhino 8 installers collection in case something is broken again


To get it twisted a bit more: same content, same key, different results.

This is what I found out. In Rhino 8.7.24134.3001 Entering the Key assignment popup menu once changes the behavior of the Group Content component and makes it read Key inputs.

Seeing this in the latest as well, I’ll reopen the ticket.

Hi @Czaja,

We are planning to release a hot fix on 8.8 for this issue.
If you have the time please install Rhino 8.8 with the hotfix from here and confirm us is fixed or not on your side.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It seems to be working now.

  1. Probably it was working differently earlier, I noticed that now there must be an expression in the Key input that modifies the Key text to search in the correct group. If one knows about it, it’s fine and working as it should.

  2. Keys with dots in their names are still making groups (but one group, not duplicated) so I assume this is by design, and I’m ok with that.

Everything looks good, thanks.
