RE: [OR] CR - Templates: conditionals to establish a point's parent

I had considered it but couldn't think of a way to set it up. Now I do. Thanks for the reminder. It will work because my case right now is incredibly simple.

Be that as it may, can we get better constraints or conditionals for points? Because just as much as I can use display rules for my case right now, there might be reasons to do it on a bigger typical section.

Imagine that I have a fairly big tree of end conditions, with several branches--maybe handling a retaining wall, benching, and just typical cut and fill. What you're suggesting is that I either have two different templates to handle this, and simply determine which template to drop at any given location. Or you're suggesting that I have two sets of end conditions, each dependent on a different point, based on whether one condition or another is met.

I do realize that asking for improved conditionals or constraints adds a bit of work on the developers, but it would make the template editor much more flexible. Part of the solution might be a scripting engine that would allow us to flexibly establish for each point which are its parents.
