Parameter Controlled Component Supression

[thuttonUDN5B]

Is there a way to control the suppression of individual components with parameters. Something like "1" for suppressed, "0" for unsuppressed, True or False, etc. 

I am building a seed part, or a parameter master part. I want to have different versions of a component in the same part file ready for easy swap outs.

Hi,

I think there is not such as functionality you need at the moment.

I can find two alternatives to this:

1.  Make a command where you ask the user for set the setting and to make the operation to the model (suppress/unsuppress in this case).  This will replace the user parameter dialog.  You need an add-in for it, keeping the status internally.

2. In this answer https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-api-and-scripts/does-fusion-plan-on-having-operation-change-ev... Mr @kandennti provides an alternative using command-start / command-termite events to track when the change is made; in this case you might need to look for the parameters command to be executed, then check if the user parameter was update and to update the model (suppress/unsuppress) accordingly.  Take into account that if the user parameter is changed by other command or by a script, you won't get the event to track its change.

I hope this can help you a little bit.
