Text parameter to turn on visibility parameter

Hello,

 

I have a family that has a label parameter name "No of Wires" and is tied to a visibility parameter called "Label Visibility". There will be some instances
of famility that this visibility will be turn off.

 

Is there a way (formula) that can turn on the visibilty of "Label Visibility" if a value in "No of wires" is enter. I'm trying to save an extra step.

text name parameter->No of Wires
visibility parameter->Label Visibility

In column Formula area inside Label Visibility enter: No of Wires > 0.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best regards, Branimir

Branimir,

 

Thank you. But it did not work. "No of Wires" is a  "Tex" parameter.

You will have to change the parameter to an integer or number.  Text parameters cant currently drive formulas.
