Slider

Hey Everyone,

I try to generate a Userinterface.

In this regard, I ask several:

First: Is it possible to turn a slider at 90 degrees like on the picture?

Second: Is it possible to hold a slider or a panel on the same position?

So that nobody can change the position?

Thirdly: Is it possible that grasshopper load automatically a mesh if rhino load a STL file?

So that nobody must select the mesh? And after that make the Rhino Mesh invisible.

I need your Help.

Regards

Henne

1. No, not really... why would you like to rotate it like that ? There are plenty of different value input components, try to choose something...

2.This is a good question, will try to do something with it. There is no such option in grasshopper thou.

3. Yes, use the geometry pipeline. If you don't know how to use it, try to find some instruction on forum, I belive David explained this one very well somewhere.

No, no, yes.

You can use a Geometry Pipeline for importing meshes.

You cannot modify or lock standard Grasshopper components. If you make your own slider or text panel then you can display them vertically or lock them in place, but not the native ones.

It will not solve the question number 2, but isn't there a way to actually cancel all the mousedrag events with a script ?

That is technically possible. What you can do is create an invisible widget (like the Markov or the compass) and override the mouse events for it. You can then handle any mousedowns, mousemoves, mouseups, mouseclicks and mousedoubleclicks.

There may be some problems with this, I haven't tested it. But what actual problem are you trying to solve by locking components in place?

Ok i think the only think what i can do is to create my own buttons and slider.

Have anybody an example file, on which one could build?
