How can I create a multiple choice list in grasshopper?

I want to make a list or something that allows you to select one of several geometries , the one you like , and then the chosen geometry will be morphed on a surface by the "surface morph" component. In this way, you can customize the surface.

I'm new in grasshopper and although I searched tutorials on lists and trees I don't find something similar to what I want to do.

I've tried this but it doesn't work:


Thank you very much.

I want to do something like this but instead of having to go each time at set geometry I'd like to create a list to choose between geometry 1, geometry 2, geometry 3, etc.

Double click the canvas and type Value List to add a customizable menu you then right click on to Edit, and thus set what it displays as words and what values to actually output for each word:

Then use Stream Filter to collect various inputs you want to select from, and zoom in on it to make little plus signs appear on the component to allow you to add a third or more items as inputs:

I'm not sure why yours doesn't work. Post your script next time for better help. When you zoom in or hover over the little red message balloon, the actual error will appear. This forum is the only up to data "manual" for Grasshopper, so search away.

Your Item component also works, but you won't have control over the order of the inputs if you just connect three wires to its input node.

Ah, it's your Panel that's breaking the list somehow, not playing nice.
