text entity text settings is null.gh (11.3 KB)
The text entity exists and has a plane and text output but the text settings gives a null output.
I am on Version 8 SR13
(8.13.24282.10001, 2024-10-08)
text entity text settings is null.gh (11.3 KB)
text settings outputs are null.gh (14.5 KB)
another example, this time the text setting is valid but all its outputs are null
Are you looking to Override the instance or modify the Style? The text setting components is only going to return overrides…
…not gonna lie I am really confused with this. The thread you have linked says that if i haven’t overwritten the style then the text settings is not going to give me the text height. I won’t know if the text entity I will get as input has overridden annotation styles or not.
What should I do if I simply want the text height of any text entity - regardless of whether its overridden the styles or not? I need the text height as a number to input some other stuff further down.
You would think so, the issue being that the Annotation Style and underlying functions are intended for Rhino, the adaptation to Grasshopper is ongoing.

Thanks a lot! Kudos to the dev team, they are doing an awesome job with RH 8 grasshopper, im sure the kinks will be ironed out well with enough time

At the moment, there isn’t a way to extract the “effective” property you’re looking for. What I mean is that we need to create a component that will return whatever the actual value is for each annotation style property, whether that’s from an override or from the parent style, and return the value that’s actually being used by that object. I have created a YouTrack (RH-84329) to track this issue.
