How can I differentiate between using a match function and creating a new one in coding? Are there any variables or other indicators that can specify this?
Hi,
there are no specific variables indicating this, but you can create one.
When "match" is used, the PythonPart is started with parameter values taken over from the "matched" PythonPart, but the element pointing to the "modified PythonPart" remains empty. What you can do, is just create a bool parameter with default value set to False and change it's value to True when PythonPart is placed. This way, every "placed" PythonPart will have this parameter set to True, but the default value in the PYP file will be False. Now you can determine how your PythonPart gets started:
Remember to set this additional parameter to be persistent in the model only:
<Persistent>Model</Persistent>More about persistency here. More about modification mode here.
Hope that helps.
Best,
Bart
