move points

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to move points in Grasshopper without a slider?

As a kind of box in which points are that you can move with the mouse.
Is that possible?

I would find something very interesting.

Regards

Henne

Something like this?

It uses some C# scripting for the mouse tracking, but other than that it's pretty straightforward..

Best,

Thanks for that but it is not what I'm looking.
I want to be a point in a box displayed graphically and then I can move it with the mouse. Is that understandable?

I am sure you understand that your mouse only moves on a two-dimensional space.

So if you want to move something in a cube you have to lock the appropriate reference plane every time. Like the gumball works.

In this case i want to set the points in a 2D system, that's right.

Right,

For this case you can use only the c# component.

You can have a similar functionality from within GH using a MDslider component.

Best,

You know how you can write in C #? With the sliders you can only always in one direction. But I want to move the point in two directions.

Marios was talking about MD (multi-dimensional) slider, not regular sliders. With MD slider you can move a point in two directions. And its a box with a point that you can move with your mouse, as you wanted (screenshot).

Cheers!

Ok that is what i want. Is that possible to make more points in one slider?

Doesn't look like MD slider can do that. But you can make multiple instances of MD slider and merge them? That should give the same effect, I suppose.

And maybe also post this feature as a "wish" for the next grasshopper release?
