Putting a range on set values

JGoode — Wed, 01 May 2019 14:49:50 GMT

Hello,

I'd like to be able to put a range on a parameter that has set values.

My values are these:

values "upright_height" 0.71, 1, 1.22, 1.6, 1.98, 2.4

But I want to be able to add a max range of something that might be less than 2.4 so ideally my values would remove the 2.4, how can I add this?

Thanks

Not quite sure I follow what you want but you can add a RANGE option to your VALUE list.
See the example in the GDL manual.

For example I might set ceiling height to 2.2m therefore having my upright height at 2.4 doesn't work so I'd like to remove that from my values list. So it was automatically only give me the options of 0.71, 1, 1.22, 1.6, 1.98 and remove the 2.4.

I hope this helps to explain what I'm trying to achieve a bit clearer.

Thanks

Sounds like you need a few IF ... THEN statements to check for the range and then define values.

This would work if ceiling height is a parameter in your object.

I knew it would be possible with IF's but I was curious as to if there was a simple way of doing it.

Thanks

You can use get() in Values* command (without RANGE)...

I haven't ever used this and the reference guide doesn't really explain how to use it. Do you have any very basic examples of how I might use it?

Thanks very much

PUT 0.71, 1, 1.22, 1.6, 1.98
IF ch >= 2.2 THEN PUT 2.4

VALUES "upright_height" GET(NSP)
