Text Parameters

Text Parameters are used to assign a text value to a Rhino geometry. The text can be any word and also can incorporate numbers and special characters.

To create a new Text Parameter go to the Create Parameter panel and then click on New, for example, name this parameter Material. Once you are done click on Save. If you click on Close your Text Parameter will not be created. Now select the Rhino objects where you want to assign the parameter and click on Assign and select the corresponding parameter, Material in this case. Do not forget to click on Save to complete this action.

Now to assign a value to the Text Parameters of any object just select that geometry and in the Parameters panel double click on the corresponding cell, where it says <no value>, to set its value, for example, Concrete. Once you have done it, click on Done to save the changes. If you hit Close, the process will be cancelled.

Bear in mind that Metrics does not allow you to color Rhino geometries based on the values of Text Parameter. If you are looking for something like this, you should use Category Parameters.
