Hi Erik,

 

you can only set values if the parameter in question does not have wires going into it. Well, you can set values anyway, but they won't be used. 

 

What you need to do is set the Persistent Data of a parameter. Once you have your parameter as a Kernel.Parameters.Param_Number, then call:

 

numParam.ClearPersistentData()              

numParam.AddPersistentData(New GH_Number(value))              

numParam.ExpireSolution(True)

 

If you want to set multiple parameters at the same time, use:

 

numParam.ExpireSolution(False)

 

Then call:

 

ghDocument.NewSolution(False)

 

when you're done setting all data.

 

Note that you cannot do this while a solution is being computed.
