Ok, so I’m slowing starting to understand the philosophy attached to the development of Dynamo, and we’re all in the sandpit and sometimes sand gets in your eye, or is that smoke, but I am most pleased it has roots in Monty Python – what a disguised blessing.
Ben, I take on board all that you have offered, and the funny thing the post may have bogged down in Thanksgiving and bobbled around with football, but the solution maybe more akin to football than you first think, as there are a whole lot of running costs in football, there are a whole lot of rules to the play, and there is a whole lot of comradery in the team. All the positions are occupied by individuals who want to win, or even achieve a double win outcome. I do understand my understanding will most likely be increased by learning Python, however I do not need to do that to be an effective player, much like the differences between a guard and a wide receiver.
I’m interested in the use of Dynamo, whilst there are other players who are interested in the use of Python and also Dynamo/Python players. Whilst I’ll agree the No Free Lunch (NFL) rule should apply, my own reluctance to “learn” Python should not be taken as a reluctance to put in an effort to find a solution in Dynamo. I think the problems I have come across are of a broad interest to the community as a whole, and seek solutions couched in those terms. All I can do is put out the question, and then it’s up to the “strong safety” or the (SS) to protect the team, but we won’t mention the war !
The last .dyn file I posted did not produce any errors, it just didn’t control the visibility filter switch on/off for a list. The view.filters came from a solution posted by Einar Raknes which controls the likes of color and lineweight.
I did note that the visibility switch did work when the view name was just a single line (1) Name = South as opposed to the list of view names (2) where it didn’t work. And as I said before all I’m looking for is a node which controls the Visibility/Graphic Overrides Filter, which everyone needs, whether they know it or not.
