Hi,
can someone reccomend a good workaround to get positionplans out of RHINO/GH/VisualARQ?
The Layer Name should be in the middle of beams etc.
Should look like this:
What we have:
Rhino model with layer for every beam type (e.g. T_111)
GH for creating volumina with VisualARQ
VisualARQ Elements in Rhino with layers for every beam type
Best regards
Benedikt
Hi @Benedikt_Zimmermann, it is not currently possible to display an object layer name inside a VisualARQ tag right now, unless you create a custom parameter for that, and assign the layer name as a value for that custom parameter.
With Grasshopper you can automate the process to obtain the layer name of an object, and assign it to each object as the value of a custom parameter:
Layer Name New Parameter.gh (10.8 KB)
Then, you can use the syntax %<element.parameters["Layer Name"]>% (“Layer Name” as the name of this new custom parameter) to display that parameter in a tag:
If you change the layer of any of these objects, you will need to run this definition again to reassign the corresponding “Layer Name” value to the edited object.
In one of the upcoming VisualARQ updates, we will include the option to list an object layer name in the tag without this workaround. I’ll let you know when it is implemented.
Hi @Benedikt_Zimmermann I let you know that in VisualARQ 3.10 it is already possible to display the object layer name in tags. You need to use the following syntax: %<element.layer>%
You can download the VisualARQ 3.10 RC1 update here: VisualARQ 3 - Version 3.10 RC1 released
