Rule doesn't update the model

[eugen.gutol]

Hi,

I made a rule which changes a flange according to selected type and sub type using Case function.

The issue is that when I change the type model doesn't update fully unless I change the subtype also.

Below is the code:

MultiValue.SetValueOptions(True, DefaultIndex := 0)

Select Case Flange_Group
Case "A"
	MultiValue.SetList("Flange_type", "A1", "A2", "A3")
	Feature.IsActive("Corner Hole 1") = True
	Feature.IsActive("Corner Hole 2") = True
	Feature.IsActive("Corner Holes mirror") = True
	Select Case Flange_type
	Case "A1"
		Width = 250
		Height = 500
		Flange_thk = 75
		hole_nr_vert = 7
		hole_nr_hrz = 5
	Case "A2"
		Width = 350
		Height = 500
		Flange_thk = 75
		hole_nr_vert = 9
		hole_nr_hrz = 5
	Case "A3"
		Width = 400
		Height = 500
		Flange_thk = 75
		hole_nr_vert = 11
		hole_nr_hrz = 5
	End Select
	
Case "B"
	MultiValue.SetList("Flange_type", "B1", "B2", "B3")
	Feature.IsActive("Corner Hole 1") = False
	Feature.IsActive("Corner Hole 2") = False
	Feature.IsActive("Corner Holes mirror") = False
		Select Case Flange_type
		Case "B1"
			Width = 150
			Height = 250
			Flange_thk = 50
			hole_nr_vert = 3
			hole_nr_hrz = 3
		Case "B2"
			Width = 150
			Height = 350
			Flange_thk = 50
			hole_nr_vert = 3
			hole_nr_hrz = 5
		Case "B3"
			Width = 150
			Height = 400
			Flange_thk = 50
			hole_nr_vert = 3
			hole_nr_hrz = 7
		End Select
Case "C"
	MultiValue.SetList("Flange_type", "C1", "C2", "C3")
	Feature.IsActive("Corner Hole 1") = False
	Feature.IsActive("Corner Hole 2") = False
	Feature.IsActive("Corner Holes mirror") = False
		Select Case Flange_type
		Case "C1"
			Width = 300
			Height = 300
			Flange_thk = 20
			hole_nr_vert = 4
			hole_nr_hrz = 4
		Case "C2"
			Width = 400
			Height = 400
			Flange_thk = 20
			hole_nr_vert = 6
			hole_nr_hrz = 6
		Case "C3"
			Width = 500
			Height = 500
			Flange_thk = 20
			hole_nr_vert = 8
			hole_nr_hrz = 8
		End Select
End Select

Moving the subtype below the main Select case which defines the sub types doesn't change the result.

Try adding the following line to the top of your rule:

iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone

Sometimes iLogic will change parameters and things but the model doesn't update accordingly until it's told to do so.

I've added at the end 

iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True

but it didn't change anything

Separate it to 2 rules.

GroupRule with with Flange_Group Select

TypeRule with with Flange_Type Select

That should work

That's the thing I don't want to split it to several rules. There will be other rules with similar structure and I don't want to have a rule for every 5-6 features.

I have a workaround:

Add a blank position on your list on first position. Then you'll be forced to change it every time you change flange group. And selecting a blank position will make no change, so it's not a problem.

MultiValue.SetList("Flange_type", "A1", "A2", "A3")
change to
MultiValue.SetList("Flange_type", "", "A1", "A2", "A3")
