What happens when I run out of vertical estate on a feature script UI, do I get a scroll bar?

My UI expands as I add different options such as ribs stringers and spars, with these options comes many more options for each one, what if my UI extends down further than I have screen? I tried just shrinking my browser but I just lost half my UI with no way of accessing the bottom half.

    Scrolling is definitely something we want to add to feature dialogs. We may be addressing this in the near future.

    In the mean time, there is a somewhat ugly workaround: Hidden parameters in a feature dialog are stored in the definition just like everything else, so, with some amount of abuse of the conditional visibility system, you can create a UI that has a pseudo-tabbed behavior like so:



    Here's a document that you can copy and play around with:
    https://cad.onshape.com/documents/699de6f7a31d0384f932c73f/w/d3867ccf46ebb33a158315b9/e/8065c5b7607c298e83499987

    To be clear, I really don't think this is a style we want to encourage. The enum UI really represents exclusive options, (and does so elsewhere in Onshape, e.g. new/add/remove/intersect). I think it's confusing and inconsistent for the end user to have a bunch of invisible options affecting their feature output. Hence, our desire to work on better solutions :smile:

    Thanks @kevin_o_toole_1 , I'll implement this for now... This might actually make more sense to the user since the number of variables is getting very large.

    Kind regards,
    Darren
