Supported types for Input
Variable TypeCommentExample
BooleanEach value should be true or false — not enclosed in quotes.{"name":"Rotate Y to Z","type":"bool","value":true}
ScalarEach value can be an integer or a float, and units are optional.{"name":"Scalar_0","type":"scalar","value":5,"units":"mm"}
IntegerEach value must be an integer without units.{"name":"Number of points","type":"integer","value":6}
TextEach value should be a string.{"name":"Text_0","type":"text","value":"d:\\auto"}
File PathEach value should be a valid file path as a string. Note that paths require double slashes due to JSON string rules.{"name":"Path","type":"file_path","value":"C:\\Outputs\\geometry.stl"}
PointEach value should be an array of integers or floats.{"name":"Center","type":"point","value": [1,1,1],"units":"mm"}
VectorEach value should be an array of integers or floats. Units are optional (more precisely, some vectors require units, and if not provided, the notebook will not run).{"name":"Scale","type":"vector","value": [1,1,1],"units":"mm"}
EnumEnums refer to any input types selected from a dropdown menu in a block input in nTop. Each value should be an array of integers representing the enum’s desired id. You can find the id of your enum in the Internal Documentation.{"name":"Lattice Type","type":"enum","value":0}
