Setting a Solid & Building a Selector to Choose A Solid

Grasshopper

Two related questions:

  1. I have used the GH Surface tool to set a pre-existing surface, however I searched for a command to set a pre-existing solid in a similar manner, but after searching a good while, I can’t find the proper syntax to bring an existing solid into GH. Can someone point me to a way to do this?

  2. I have three existing extrusions that are identical in size and only differ by the placement of several holes.

I need to selectively drop one of the extrusions into the exact same x,y,z position based on a manual input like a selection from a list, slider, etc.

So the thing I am trying to understand is a way to reference an existing solid and feed it ahead (like to a SolidDifference operator.

I appreciate any and all comments/suggestions!

Best regards,
Bruce

Hi,

Have a look at Brep parameter, Stream Filter and Value List.

Magicteddy,

StreamFilter is Awesome!!! Using ZUI (Zoom) to add inputs was a nice discovery after digging for a while on how to add more inputs.
