Why was this changed?
In the latest Rhino 8 it says ‘Set multiple …’
That is odd and doesn’t make much sense to me… Multiple has a very specific meaning of “more than one” whereas Many is ambiguous and depends on an individual’s culture and mentality.
Unless of course your way of counting is “none, one, many…” 
Multiple always means more than one. Many is used in some analogous contexts (ie data modelling, entity-relationship diagrams, class diagrams) to mean at least one. In the gh context the set multiple allowed you to set one and didn’t force more than one.
I think many is therefore a better term. Is it important? No, but it is a generous gesture to those of us who can be a little anal about language.
Well, I respectfully disagree with your arguments.
So in that case Many could also mean One. So now we have a counting system “None, Many…”
Well, it could be argued in that case that all one really needs is a single entry SetBreps and not Set one Brep and Set multiple Breps
Yes, but this component is about referencing Breps in a document and nothing else.
To me, the only benefit of the ‘Set one …’ option is that it does not require pressing enter to confirm.
I’d be happy also with a single input which accepts one or many, preselected or not.
If multiple/many accept one why we should bother about to choose.
Let’s keep just Select Objects !
This is funny, the command line says ‘Curve or Edge to reference’ after clicking the ‘Set many Curves’ option. For Breps, the command line says ‘Breps to reference’
Hi @martinsiegrist,
I tink is minor change that reflects a bit better what the menu entry does.
‘Select one’ allows you to select just 1 item.
The other option allows you to select one or more.
‘Multiple’ means more than one while many is more about an indefinite number of things.
Ok, thanks for the explanation. I understand the difference between the two input options.
It would be good to update what’s shown in the command line and make it consistent for both single item and multiple (many) items.
