Precast

Catalog references

Defining the <ValueType> as xxxCatalogReference creates a regular Combo Box, but with predefined values from the Precast catalogs. Depending on the provided <ValueType>, the values are read from a corresponding catalog and put into <ValueList> during the palette creation by the PythonPart framework. This ensures that the user can choose only from the options available in the Precast catalog.

Parameter Precast ConcreteGrade

<Parameter>
    <Name>Concrete</Name>
    <Text>Concrete</Text>
    <ValueType>ConcreteGradeCatalogReference<!--(1)!--></ValueType>
</Parameter>
  1. Replace this value with the desired catalog - see table below.
