I use “KR PT 100” instead of DirZ to define local axis of SLN in Grasshopper.
But the generated SofimscC.dat shows duplicated local axis as follows

SLN NO 1010 GRP - SNO 3 DRX 0.000000 0.000000 -1.000000 KR PT 100

which causes the following error in analysis

Item at position 18 multiple defined
If a literal item to be specified is identical to the name of an item,
please quote the Literal with apostrophes

I have to manully delete “DRX 0.000000 0.000000 -1.000000” in sofimshC.dat, then everything is OK.

Is it possible to add an option “disable” to input ( in this case: DirZ) in SLN component (maybe other components as well)?

Hi there!

Thanks for your input and feedback! We will consider this use case and possible solutions, but since pretty much any aspect of the given component’s input can be overwritten using the User Text, it gets complicated rather quickly.

I would suggest simply using GH to calculate the vector to PT 100 and then using that as a Dir Z input.
