  • toString in Description?

    I'm trying to give a tooltip for a UI parameter using the description and I'd like it to show the range. I know if I enter a value outside of the boundsRange it will show the range automatically, but it would be nice to have some hint of what that range is without guessing. It seems like creating a const or inlining the…

  • How Can I Remove a Character from a String

    I have a string that needs the last character removed. I can't seem to figure out how to do it. With the following expression, I can turn it into an array and remove the last element, but I can't figure out how to get it back to a string. resize(splitIntoCharacters(#Description),length(#Description)-2,1) I am trying to do…

  • How to Sort Array of Strings?

    I have an array of strings that I would like to lexicographically sort using the sort (entities is array, compareFunction is function) function, but I'm not sure how to make the comparator function.

  • How can I create string variables?

    I have a featurescript feature that takes a string as a precondition. Is it possible to define a variable that is a string that I can pass into this feature? I've tried setting the value of a variable to be something quoted in double quotes and single quotes, neither of these is accepted.

  • Having troubles with: skCircle(Sketch, Id (array), map) does not match skCircle(..., string, ...)

    the id: id+'circle1'+keys debugs to: Id : [ "FIZxwPCJn00T9Nq_1" , "circle1" , "0" ] I presume the issue is that it is an array of strings however this is valid for a sketch so I am puzzled.
