min() max() parameter toggle positive/negative

nClarke0101 — Sat, 09 Jul 2022 14:08:47 GMT

I am trying to use user parameters to toggle between a positive and negative value

When toggle is on 1 the offset value should be 37mm

Then when toggle is set to 0 offset should change to -37mm

Currently when the offset just changes from 0mm - 37mm

Is it possible to do this with a math function?

I'd only use basic math if the value is the same and only the sign changes.

That seems good, only problem is that if the toggle is set higher then one could bring problems.

This seems to work though

min(max(( ( 37 * ( 2 * toggle - 1 ) ) * 1 mm ); -37 mm); 37 mm)

I am not to good with my math.

The sign() function is an easy error checker in this case.
Anything <=0 will return 0, anything > 0 will return 1.

And your solution with min/max looks correct.

But your solution with min/max looks correct.

Use the one you find easy to remember, if you need to go back and edit the file.
