Offset every window with different distance

Hi guys. I would like to offset every window with different distance: I put a Slider for Windows selection and a slider for Offset dimension. When I change Window value, the Offset decided before doesn't remain. The only way to do this is to bake every single offset (too long for me) ... Is there a way to Select and Move every relative window and hold them without Object Bake? Thanks in advance!! ;-)

Hello again!! The plane of your offset for item 0 shouldn´t be the same for any other Items. Cheers.

Hi Landscape,

In case you wanted to move your windows, instead of offsetting them (that is what your Rhino preview shows), try this:

Each slider controls the offset (or move precisely) distance of particular window.

It's a great idea Djordje, but number of windows are variable. Is it possible to modify number of sliders of Gene Pool according with windows number? Thanks a lot.

Nope. The best you can do is have more sliders than you need and then split the list of resulting values so only the first N sliders are actually used.

Is it possible to do a sort of battery that do this in the next GSH release? It could be very cool do this!! Thanks a lot David!! ;-)

How would it behave? You supply a single integer and you get that many sliders? What would the value be of a newly added slider? Would values of sliders that were removed in the past but then reinstantiated be remembered? What if you supply more than one integer?

Hope to be clear!! I think it would be useful for many GSH members ;-) (MOVING/OFFSETTING are examples ... it would be possible do everything)
