XPresso type and layout setup
I don’t use xpresso often and can’t figure out how to solve this. There is probably some simple solution but I don’t see it.
I would like to create a setup where I can choose a type and layout of certain objects (example attached). And if I choose for instance type-flat and layout-4 then only this one object should be visible on the scene. Tried already with the compare node but it doesn’t work, at least I can’t make it work.
Thanks!

Here is a simpler setup and expression that takes advantage of the power of cloners.

Explanation:
In the xPresso tag:
– The ‘Type’ option triggers visibility of the Cloners which have the Layouts as children.
– The cloners are setup with ‘Fix Clone’ turned OFF which keeps the clones in their original locations.
– The cloner ‘Count’ parameter is set to 1 so only one of the children is displayed at a time.
– The ‘Clones’ parameter of each cloner is set to ‘Iterate’ so that the children will be read sequentially.
– The Drawer ‘layout’ option drives each cloner’s ‘Offset’ parameter which selects which of the children to display. -
