Query model layer - layer order behavior

Hello,

I was wondering if there is something I could do about the “unpredictable” behavior of query layer model ?

When I add new layers (or delete old ones), it unpredictedly add the new layers to a random position in the list: it could be at the end or any other position.. unpredictedly.
So as I want to make specific operations on each of these layers, it keeps changing order and makes it impossible to work with this way.

any idea to do this other then manually ?

Thnx

There’s a sort component which lets you sort content based on an attribute

Hi @LeGaulois,

All the Query components return the items in creation order.
If you need another order please use ‘Order Content’ component.

Thanks for pointing this out. It helps.

Still, I have the problem that if I delete a layer in rhino, it all shift that list up. I couldn’t get a fix index or branch path associated with a layer. So I had to found another way around.

I ended up with this: filtering through the list of layer with a key word. (1 more manual step, not ideal). Might not be the best solution.

2- Also, Is there any native component to replace this elefront layer object query WITH and update button associated with it that I might be missing?

Yes, all Query components can work in non synchronized mode.
To switch that right click on the component.

@kike a while ago we talked about a new component which lets the user choose the level of awareness for the synchronization. It would be very helpful in large definitions
