Dear All,

We are testing the connector definition. we meet problem that the conveyor's height can't automatically change if the connector isn't the a point of the edge.

Please get the attachment. for ShockConveyor.ipt, we defined 2 connector of the right side, one is a midpoint of a edge(connector4), the other is intersect point of three plane(connector5).  the connector4 work correctly but failed with connector5.

What wrong with it?it's the limited of the connector point?

My Best Regards,

Rick

Hi Rick,

Yes,  that is the limitation. The connector 5 only propagate the parameter "RightHeight'. Currently, the connector class didn't allow defining the expresion, say "RightHeight+300mm".

Hi Rick,

I am writing a ilogic code to control the RightHeight based on which Connector is consumed.

If (RightHeight <> iProperties.Value("Custom", "RightHeight_backup")) Then
 RightHeight1= RightHeight+300 mm
  ParaChange = 0
Else If (RightHeight1 <> iProperties.Value("Custom", "RightHeight1_backup")) Then
 RightHeight = RightHeight1 -300 mm
End If
iProperties.Value("Custom", "RightHeight_backup") = RightHeight
iProperties.Value("Custom", "RightHeight1_backup") = RightHeight1

Also,I added new parameter RightHeight1 and set as key (must be set as key) in model and update the connector class .

Thanks, Xuesong, It's work very well!
