Feature request: Global nodes/parameter

I just have a question. I´m working for a small Carpenter company in Sweden and just testing in trimble creator. We create kitchen carbinets and here i´m missing the option for “global nodes/parameter”. Say you want to change the specific color for all carbinets or change all knobs so another brand. Its great to to have the live component, but it would be really good if i had this global nodes parameters who can affect an option for all live components att the same time. Hope i could explain my feature request. Thanks a lot.

ps: the “Submit feedback” function was brocken for me.

greetings Andreas

Hi Andreas.

Glad to hear you’re doing some authoring of Live Components.

Global parameters, or shared parameters, is a feature we plan to look at implementing further down the road, so it’s good to hear that more people are interested in this feature!

What was the error you received when clicking the ‘submit feedback’ button?

Cheers, Max

Hi Max!

Thanks a lot for your feedback. Great to hear that you are have the shared parameters in planning. Just a following question.. what means with “further the road”? Does it means a half year, or year or 5 years?

Here a a screenshot from the errormessage i get:

To clarify what “further down the road” means, it’s difficult to give a precise timeframe. We’re constantly evaluating and prioritizing a range of features, and while shared parameters are definitely on our radar, we can’t commit to a specific release window for this feature. Your continued feedback on how these features would benefit your specific use cases is invaluable, though, as it helps us in this prioritization process, so please keep any feedback coming!

Regarding the feedback form - we’re looking into it. A quick refresh often fixes this issue, or feel free to continue providing feedback through the forum.

Cheers,
Max

Not sure where this is at on the priority list, but I would also find some type of global or shared parameter very useful. Hopefully, we will see some progress in the development of the Trimble Creator, as it has been a long time since the last beta release.
