Change color of an object by parameter

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

I'm trying to create a block that changes the color of a polyline by a defined parameter.  

The situation is: 

The block has two parameters (Lenght and Height) and these distances are already defined in a block properties table. 

For exemple: 

Distance 1 = 2.00 and Distance 2=1.00.

Name: 2x1

I'd like for this situation polyline color change.

In this block, I've so many situations for these distances, and I don't want do with VISIBILITY STATE. 

Is there any possible way to do this in Dynamic Block? 

Best regards, 

Thanks.

Sorry, there is no existing functionality in the block editor that allows for this capability (triggering a property change for objects in the block - color, layer, etc. ).

Perhaps with lookup tables and visibility states, you might be able to turn off/on some duplicate geometry with different colors when a parameter changes, but otherwise no.

You can certainly combine duplicate linework, visibility states, and block properties or lookups in order to automatically change the visibility state based on a different parameter's value.

Thanks Jerry,

I'll do this by a lookup pararameter with visibility states. This is gonna take a while, because I need to create actions (rotate, scale and strech) for each block, but it's the only way to do.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I've got a solution for this block based on your answer. 

It has take a long time, indeed, but worked!

Thanks, 

Best Regards.

Very cool!

I attached an example that may give you some more ideas.  

Thanks,

This is a great block. I am inspired to learn more about lookup tables and visibility states.
