New Data Types Available in GH1 Have you ever been frustrated that you couldn’t bake geometry with custom attributes? What about display materials? Have you ever wanted to be able to use native Rhino materials in the Grasshopper display pipeline? How about importing files into Grasshopper - have yo…

Ahh ok. I understand now. The reason why it wasn’t showing from the Block definition itself is it’s because it’s an Instance parameter. Thank you, Japhy.

@AndyPayne would it be possible in one of the future release to add a component for the Clipping planes creation with options to control parameters on the right. [image] Like “Custom Depth”, “Objects Clipped” etc. Also ability to assign Clipping plane to specific Details will help a lot. This co…

Actually, I’ve been working on support for section/clipping planes and section styles just this week. I don’t think we’re too far away from releasing some components for this. However, it will be in Rhino 9 WIP.
