Title: Numeric node for interchanging values.
Post by: Dragan on March 26, 2023, 08:11:36 AM

Hi, Carlos,
We had this discussion about introducing a new Numeric Node Type that could act as some sort of Buffer Node for interchanging values from one Generator-Tree to another. eg. Using SplineLenght from one Generator to be X Size for L1S nested to another separated Generator with his own Spline/Clipping area.
Any new thoughts on that matter?
Thank You

Hi Dragan,

Unfortunately i don't see a way to implement this in the current workflow.

Generators are evaluated separately, with the only exception of parent-child relation (nesting, basically).
To interchange values between generators, it would be necessary to set an extra hierarchy, to define the evaluation order.
For example, if Gen1 uses SplineLenght of Gen2, Gen2 must be built before. That complicates a lot the current implementation, and may introduce other potential problems.

Ok, thank you Carlos.
I`m scraping this from my wish list  :'(
