Hi,
your proposed file was like gold for me. Thanks!!

I had the opportunity to check some tutorials using python and I will dig even more in the next months..you basically ruined my xmas holidays

I am still having issues controlling the tag from the menu. I tried to create a group and attribute inside the multipart and with a switch connected with the UI menu, I was hoping to isolate or control the output. Unfortunately I didn't succeed.

I will try to find more resources with python but in the meantime here is the file.

Regarding your "more efficient way" I will try to find a way to get this knowledge. Thank you so much

best

Thanks for the answer!

Yep sorry it wasn't a great way to share my issue ..I knew the issue of showing just the last iteration. I didn't mention thanks for flagging that!
My first issue was related to the interface where even showing just the last iteration I am not able to read the value ..

Anyway going with the array, as you suggested, do you think creating an array with unique values I could promote as a list in the UI?
not sure how to do that..

Unfortunately I am not good using python, I wish to know how to do it ..I mean even in vex for now it's a bit complicated for me

thanks

Hi,

I wish I will be clear enough to share my issue with you.

I would like to create from an input a list of unique values and expose the values in the UI to tag them later..

eg. From a point cloud I have some points with a string attribute:

ptnum 0 name aaa
ptnum 1 name b3b
ptnum 2 name aaa
ptnum 3 name c90
ptnum 4 name bbb

I am able to identify the count(4) of unique values ( in this case:aaa, b3b, c90, bbb )
From this point, I thought having the count value in a multiparm block will create automatically 4 labels where I was able to expose the attribute name using the expression: `details("./get","name")`, but I am not able to preview the attribute name..

I tried also detail("./get","name",0) but still without any result.

I would like to create for each unique name a menu and give the opportunity to choose where the attribute will belong ..

any idea how to do that?

where I am doing wrong ?

thanks
maq
