Text parameter to turn on visibility parameter

Paul-s — Wed, 10 Aug 2016 20:08:55 GMT

Hello,

I have a family that has a label parameter name "No of Wires" and is tied to a visibility parameter called "Label Visibility". There will be some instances
of famility that this visibility will be turn off.

Is there a way (formula) that can turn on the visibilty of "Label Visibility" if a value in "No of wires" is enter. I'm trying to save an extra step.

text name parameter->No of Wires
visibility parameter->Label Visibility

In column Formula area inside Label Visibility enter: No of Wires > 0.

Hope this helps.

Best regards, Branimir

Branimir,

Thank you. But it did not work. "No of Wires" is a "Tex" parameter.

Paul-

You will have to change the parameter to an integer or number. Text parameters cant currently drive formulas.
