Hi just starting with Generative Components to automate some Structural Bits and Pieces.
I have a script creating some columns, but I have to enter a section size for each column. Is there a node available so that I can select a section once that can be linked multiple times to the CatalogueItem input of each column.
Thanks
Stewart
Hello Stewart,
You can use an expression node and store the value of the catalog item that you want to attach with your catalog item input in your structural nodes.
Please refer to the attached image. I also have attached the example GCT file. https://communities.bentley.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/360/catalog-item.gct

Thanks, Alifur
This is better, but I was rather hoping for a pull-down list. Similar to the one on the StructuralMember node when I click on CatalogueItem Input.
It must be available somewhere because it is part of the StructuralMember node
While typing this out I just realised I can pass the input though as an output. So I can just link the properties to the next column.
Hello Stewart, So far we do not have a separate node for catalog items. All of our nodes has catalog item as an input.
Yes, you can pass the output for one structural node as an input for another nodes. Refer to the attached image.
