Hi Guys,
Does any one have a sample that tests a list or if list 1 = certain name, then make new layer from list 2 .
I tried many samples but just don’t see how to test one valve to another in a list and get result.
these lists are kicking my ##.
It much like a layer merge or translate, that’s what I’m trying to do.
Thank you

Hi @jcoon,
A simple, yet elegant solution would be to use some nodes from the Clockwork Package:
First you would need to replace all the values with “0” in your original list if they do not occur in your specified search strings, for this I suggest using the List.ReplaceItemsAtIndex+ node from the Clockwork Package with some filtering in front.
After that use the String.ReplaceMultiple to replace each string by it’s corresponding new (layer) name:

Daan,
Thank you. Still very new at this. So I’ll need to download the Clockwork.
This was to be a test for a must larger list that would insert block references based on the descriptions
in the spreadsheet, and place a block on the new layer. I just couldn’t see how to test for the text values. This looks great. I never would looked outside the civil package. If this was vb I’d be able to do it, but this dynamo is a whole new beast.
Thank you.
I get and error unresolved on list.anyFalse, but it appears that it’s not uninstalling the older package yet.
I get the same thing with civil, not sure why.
will test as soon as I get resolved
Thank you
