dynamic title block with two option grips

I'm fairly new to the creation of dynamic blocks. I need help setting up a dynamic title block with two grip options. I currently have a dynamic title block I set up with one grip that allows the user to select an office location within our company. It works great. I'd like to add another dynamic grip to specify whether the drawing is printed black and white or color. My thougth process is insert the title block, pick the office, then pick black and white or color.

 

 

I threw together a very basic example of what I'm try to accomplish based on examples that others have shared, it is attached. I have a visibility parameter with all the visibility states, a lookup parameter for the office, a lookup parameter for black and white or color, and a double lookup parameter to tie the two together. Does that sound right? I've spent several hours trying to make it work without success. I'm hoping one of you experts out there can explain to me what I'm missing or what I'm doing wrong thats preventing it from working.

 

Thank you

You cannot have the visibility state controlled by more than one lookup.  The workaround is to have the individual selections lookups control 'input' parameters.  You then have a double lookup that controls the visibility parameter based on the input parameter positions.  See the screencast.

Thank you very much Libbya! I had to run through the screencast several times but I got it work with the border I am setting up for my company.

 

Thanks again!
