Grasshopper: Value Picker

The new Value Picker component helps Grasshopper users find, select, and filter values from long or variable lists. It supports single and multiple selection, making it easier to work with complex datasets and dynamic inputs in a more efficient and readable way.

An Array of Search Options

The Value Picker is designed for workflows where lists may be large, dynamic, or difficult to navigate manually. It supports a range of search methods, including exact match, contains, starts with, ends with, wildcards, and regular expressions.

Preview Companion

Combine Grasshopper’s Value Picker with the Content Viewer to scroll through lists and preview both geometry and non-geometry data types.

Try It

1. Download Rhino 8 Evaluation for Windows or Mac..
2. Download the ValuePicker.gh example file.
3. Drag and drop the file inside Rhino. It will load Grasshopper and you will preview the tower and widgets in the viewports.
4. The file contains three examples:
   1. In the first example, use the Value Picker to select different list items and display them in a Panel. Select an item in the list. Use Ctrl to select multiple values.
   2. In the second example, right-click on the icon located at the bottom-right corner of the Value Picker component and select Contains. Then type a value into the search field at the bottom of the Value Picker. The Value Picker will show comparable values that contain the number or text you entered.
   3. In the third example, right-click on the icon located at the bottom-right corner of the Value Picker component and select Wildcards. Use wildcard searches to match values by pattern:
      • Apple* finds: Apple Orange
      • *Apple finds: Orange Apple
      • *Apple* finds: both items containing Apple
5. Try it on your own! Experiment with your own models.
