Hi,

Working on an interactor script containing planes references, the function "modify_element_property" doesn't detect the modification of the plane reference in the palette with

in name == "BottomPlane"

(no problem with the other parameters)

Here in pyp file :

<Parameter>
<Name>BottomPlane</Name>
<Value></Value>
<ValueType>PlaneReferences</ValueType>
<ValueDialog>BottomPlaneReferences</ValueDialog>
<Visible>|BottomPlane.AbsBottomElevation:False</Visible>
</Parameter>

What I'm doing wrong ?

Best
Christophe

Hi Christophe,

in general, the parameters that are controlled by a button opening another window on the property palette, are triggering the modify_element_property event, but maybe not exactly in the way you would expect it or as it is the case with other parameter values.

Please use the example Events. Add a parameter of your interest to .pyp file and try to modify it. Observe, what's printed in the trace.

In case of a Plane reference parameter, the parameter name passed to the event is different: BottomPlane___DialogButton___. I think this is where your routine is failing. It's expecting the name BottomPlane. Go with

if "BottomPlane" in name

Best,
Bart
