Can you Link a Constrained Parameter to a Visibility State...?

I have a dynamic block I am working on, I would like the Contrained Parameter "Side" to drive the Visibility State.

Or the Visibility State to drive the Parameter...

It is set up currently with a view state to select the runner length and then have to click and drag the box to the appropriate length - which works but I just feel it should be better and one thing drive the other.

Hopefully someone will have some words of wisdom🤞.

I would be surprised because i couldnt even used constraints on dimension lines...

Look for DOUBLE LOOKUPS. I'm not sure if they can also be used with constraints, but they can be used with normal parameters

Thank you guys so far, the posted block already uses a Double lookup and I'd love to add the constraint to this - but alas is not possible.

Does anyone else have a workaround or a suggestion?

The desired result is being able to drag the grip for the "side" constraint and the position of that to correspond with the appropriate visibility state.

Or vice versa.

Thanks

If you change the constraint to a linear parameter you can set certain distances for the parameter and then use a double lookup which will either change the visibility state depending on the length of the parameter or the parameter depending on the visibility state.
