How to realize a switch in the GUI of a Feature

[Jörg 29]

Hi together,

 

Please find attached a very simple example where I switch between two curves to generate a surface.

 

 

The switch is realized by using the advanced options of the feature definition arguments.

 

 

There is an auxiliary bool argument which I use in the advanced options of curveA and curveB.

 

 

Note that there is a documentation button in this dialog which directly leads you to the description of all options.

 

The bool argument itself is hidden, see also its hidden options.

 

Finally, an IF-statement based on this bool switches the input for an image curve.

 

 

There are many possibilities to design and customize own interfaces for Features, this is only a small but maybe helpful example that introduces this topic. I attached the project file.

 

Cheers

Joerg

Note that I set the image curve "source" as being the type provider. Then it is easier to directly use the feature in the object tree as an input curve for the surface.
