Im working in GH for rhino 8 for a kangaroo script. I’m watching this one tutorial and they are typing something like 3. 12 and a u count slider pops up. I cannot find anything that gives me that slider. I’ve seen the slider before in previous scripts that were given to me, but can’t figure out how to get that on my own. Thanks.
Can’t be 100% sure without a picture but:
There are three types of input slider:
When you double click on the canvas, typing a number automatically makes a 1 dimensional Number Slider, with the maximum value being the next biggest power of ten, and with as many decimal places as you type. eg, typing 3.12 and hitting return will make a slider from 0 to 10, with .01 increments, initialised to 3.12. Double click it to change the settings.
If you type Slider at the same prompt, the default result is MDSlider, which is a 2-dimensional input, outputting a 2D point (x,y) - Double click it to set the range for x and y.
Or you can create a Gene Pool which lets you generate a list of numbers. Again, double clicking lets you set the limits and the number of sliders.
If your component expects distinct values for each input, use Number Sliders.
If your component expects 2D coordinates, use MD Slider
If your component expects a list of values, use Gene Pool
In the video below after a left double click I enter three values separated with ‘<’
-10<5<20.00
You can enter the U,V values in a panel as well if you know exactly where you need to evaluate the surface. You may need to parametrize your surface unless you have exact coordinate values.
