Just curious. Why do we need Zero-touch nodes to run a python string while we’ve already had a python script from string?
Do we have a way to include python string in a C# zero touch node with .dll (to be a custom node)?
Thank you!
This is an example from the developer primer, selected as a more advanced use case to illustrate how a ZT node can open tools which execute outside of the primary chain of events as that opens doors to a LOT of additional features which 3rd party developers can run.
It is not intended as a new node everyone should have in their library. Similarly the example of building a grid of points has little value for users who have finished the primer as they can use one Point.ByCoordinates node with design script ranges and inputs.
Thank you. Is that this case is just for illustrating the connection compatibility of Zerotouch with python string and there are many other things to do with Zerotouch?
Yes - there are infinite things which can be done with zero touch, including launching and returning results from external apps and scripts, and interacting with host applications like Revit and Civil 3D in ways which Python cannot.
If you go though the entire Developer section of the primer you’ll learn a lot of what those capabilities are.
Thank you! It’s really a long way to go for an amateur!
