Hello,
i was wondering if is there a way to change a parameter group trough dynamo.
i’ve tried by “adding” the parameter again using orchid’s “parameter.add” but as expected the group parameter doesn’t get updated.
just for the sake of clarity what i want to achieve:
i’ve a bunch (a lot, actually) of custom families that have been made from different editors.
since they didn’t follow a common guideline they’ve grouped the parameters in different ways from family to family.
i’m now “in charge” of the “standardization” of those models: this process is intended to be achived by renaming the parameters, grouping them accordingly to a new guideline, and associate them to the right categories, then i want to create an updated version of the shared parameters to have a better base for the models that will come from now on.
at the moment i’m here.
but as you can see the group “extraction” is not connected because i can’t find a way to apply the group option to an already existing parameter
So in the API there is a get method for the property, but I don’t know if there is a corresponding set method, but you could try to alter things there.
thank you.
as said i’m quite sure there is a “set” function, since you are able to create a new parameter and set its grouping by using the orchid node “add.parameter”, but i can’t find how to use it in a “standalone” way.
Just because there is a create method does not mean there is a set method - many aspects of the API are limited to ‘set at creation’ or do not set at all.
mmm, i see.
i’m having an hard time trying to figure out how to implement that script and use it for my needs since actually renaming is one of the things that i should do…
