Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hello again,

another question regarding something from Elefront, this time "filter by type".

Could you provide a list of what types are possible. Specifically I am interested in filtering a group out of a set of mixed data. Cant you just filter by all of the Params available?

Regards,

Armin.

If you connect a valuelist component to the "Type input", it will give you a list of possible values.

I am just curious why you would filter out a group of objects? If you want to filter by all of the Params available, a "Group with objects" is not one of them. As far as I know, both Grasshopper and Elefront have no way of dealing with "Group with objects".

Oh ok, thats good to know. I'm curious why in your screenshot the T input has the [] brackets, but not in mine? Otherwise I would have known to connect a value list. Strange, because I am using the latest version of Elefront, but used an earlier version when I started. I dont get the "old" label over it though. Hmm..

Well I have a large collection of items which I group together because they get transformed together. There is a few thousand of them. Inside this group is another group of 6 polyline curves. So if I ungroup it, I cannot filter by polyline curve any longer, as there are 2 other polyline curves in each branch. I filter by type because each type gets baked to a different layer. If I could filter by group, it would be perfectly easy to filter everything in the way I want.

I am surprised that its not in there or as you say not possible to know what is a group, but yet a group is its own data type in GH, which to me seems no different than any of the others. Ok, but then you also dont have the more generic ones like Geometry for example. I noticed that Human's Sort Objects By Type has an output for "other", so maybe you could include that, so that I can select "Other" and it will filter out everything that ISNT one of the ones in your list of options.

Could that be an option?
