Also, if you can find an existing library part that shows options in a way that is similar to what you desire, then use that code, substituting parameter names and subroutines that fit your needs, so you don't end up reinventing the wheel. <BR /> <BR /> Hope this helps. <BR /> <BR /> David Sun, 03 Apr 2005 14:44:58 GMT David Maudlin 2005-04-03T14:44:58Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/gdl-parameter-menu/m-p/55558#M38257 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>Forgive me this has already been addressed, and if so , please direct me to the correct thread. I am trying to create a symbols library for my various schedules (electrical, mechanical,...etc.) . I am hoping to learn how to create a menu item that will show 3 or 4 options, i.e. existing, new, demo... or in the example of switches, to show in the menu d for dimmer, 3 for 3-way switch, 4 - 4 way switch... <BR /> this is (i think) similar to the boolean option of the parameter screen, but more that just an on/off selection. I know how to do on/off or just an keyboard inputs, but I want just to show only the selectable options in the object window.<BR /> I know I may need to explain this more clearly, written communication is not my best skill, but any help in this arena would be very much appreciated.</T></DIV> Wed, 24 May 2023 10:11:09 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/gdl-parameter-menu/m-p/55558#M38257 Anonymous 2023-05-24T10:11:09Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/gdl-parameter-menu/m-p/55559#M38258 Scott: <BR /> <BR /> A brief overview. <BR /> <BR /> In the Parameters script, you will need a line of code like: <BR /> <FONT color="red">Values "Cond_Type" "new", "existing", "demo"</FONT> <BR /> where <FONT color="red">Cond_Type</FONT> is the name of the parameter and the other names in quotes are the text options you want to appear in the parameter pop up list. <BR /> <BR /> Then in the 2D script, you will need conditional statements like: <BR /> <FONT color="red">If Cond_Type="new" then Gosub 10 <BR /> If Cond_Type="existing" then Gosub 20 <BR /> If Cond_Type="demo" then Gosub 30</FONT> <BR /> where you can define the appearance of the part in the subroutines called here. <BR /> <BR /> There are other ways to structure options within the code (If/Then statements), choose a method that makes sense to you.
