App Builder 1.4

New features:

• This release includes a major update of the App Builder schema, including new layout components and logic and new action mechanisms. These updates are currently in beta until the corresponding Grasshopper plugin components are released in the next few weeks.

• Additional beta features include:

  • Multiline text inputs (beta example here)

  • Step property for sliders (beta example here)

  • Searchable stringlist inputs (beta example here)

  • 2D and 3D anchor elements in the viewer. Anchors can contain any widgets of the App Builder (parameters, images, text…).

• The attribute visualization mode now allows clicking on elements in the scene and to reveal the values of the stored attributes for this object. See an example here.

Improvements:

• App Builder now supports the entire tabler icon library (instead of a small selection of hard-coded ones). Just use the name of the icon in tabler along with all App Builder components that support icon inputs.
• Apps now provide feedback in case an Image Widget is linked to an Export component which does not exist or failed.
• The Selection Input now automatically validates the selection after an object is selected if max==1.
• The undo/redo buttons and the parameters menu are now disabled in parameter validation mode.
• The camera menu is hidden if only one camera is available.
• The default passive material in attribute visualization mode is now light gray and supports shadows.
• Gumball inputs now work in Apps with multiple instances.

Bug fixes:

• Importing json parameter values now works as expected also for dynamic parameters.
• Fixed number validation for the text input component of sliders.
• Resetting the value of Gumball Inputs now works as expected.
• The undo button now works from the first customization request.
