algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Is there any way for the geometry pipeline to work with nested layers in rhino? I've got a series of sub-layers nested in a single parent for organizational purposes and I was hoping not to have to move the layers out of their parent every time I want to manipulate the geometry in those layers using GH.

I've tried using every combination of "Default::*" that I can think of, but nothing works.

How about Layer*
?

You genius! So my example was generic, and apparently a bad one. My actual layer structure is more like this:

PROGRAM

0100 - Public Spaces

0200 - Back of House

0300 - Education Space

etc.

But you are entirely right...I just set up my wildcards to be '#### *' and everything works out fine. I was hoping there would be a way to grab every surface from the PROGRAM parent folder without having to specify the sub-folders; in case of a scenario where sub-folders aren't perfectly named. But this way will be fine, and force me to better manage my files.

Thanks.

If you use the dynamic pipeline in the human plug-in and set it to "full paths" access, you can specify layer names with nested syntax and wildcards - so "PROGRAM::*" will give you geometry on any sublayer of PROGRAM. 

Is there a way to do this within the Python editor?  I'd like to be able to set a formatted layer structure as the starting argument, but haven't had any luck.  Something like this:

ghcomp.HDTUtilities.DynamicGeometryPipeline(Layer_Name,'all')

where "Layer_Name" contains a sublayer: RhinoToRevit::Roofs::Roof_Type2

Can you do this?

Thanks!

took me ages to find the answer !!! the dynamic pipeline is amazing. 

can someone please help (i think the general forum can benefit) with : what are all the wild cards?

thnx 

How can I select all the sublayers of a sublayer?
