this is literally so much work, i appreciate it, its actually really creative, but autodesk should have clocked this early on.

Second time I have referred back to this video. This is the best tutorial in existence. I just created a block with 144 different visibility parameters (12 options for left/right). It works brilliantly! Thank you again.

time table @1:51 make a regular block in bblock command @2:19 drop visibility setting and make all the possible views in it @3:03 hide visibility grip and list @3:32 add linear parameter and name it sofa type and in propriety change the measurement to list and fill the list with multi lengths to represent the visibilities and turn off show properties and grips @5:08 put another linear parameter and name it side table visibility and turn off the properties and grips and turn it to a list and put lenghts represent the visibilities @6:22 assign action to the linear parameter so we put a tiny circule on the firts point of the two linear parameter and assign move action to both circules then hide them in all visibilities with the cimmand "bvhide" and show the linaer parameter in all visibilities with bvshow command @9:27 creating the double lookup parameter from the lookup parameter and put in the block and name them according to the visibilities @11:36 add the visibilities to the list of the first lookup action and active reverse lookup in it @14:11 put the visibilities in the list and match there lookup value with the first one @16:36 putting two lookup parameter ans link them to the double lookup to show the results by input the linear parameter and put the value and name them according to the real visibility you want to show @ make sure all parameter to show on all visibilities and the circle to be hidden in all visibilities

This is one of the best tutorial I ever found about dynamic blocks! Thank you so much!

Perfect! What I was looking for to clean up a few blocks. Thank you so much for clear, easy to follow solution. Now to be able to remember this when I need to re-create

Congratulations! Very clear and smart solution for multiple Visibility commands in dynamic blocks. Now I'm going to try to extend to 4 commands. Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much! I kept trying to figure it out based on some forum posts online, but I was still very confused. This walkthrough is extremely helpful!!!

Starting @19:40 is my favorite part of this video. The coolest part is that all of this actually works!!! Awesome video and thanks for the upload KaDe King!!!

Freaking brilliant! Love this.

Excellent explanation. Nice Job!

Great tutorial! Will be revisiting this lookups master class.

Very clear video. Great job. 👍 Thank you.

This is amazing. Thank you!

For those of you looking for additional lookups. How I did it was this way: I just added the additional linear dimension parameters that I needed and had them coded in the double lookup table. So I had Size, view orientation and new/existing. and numbered them 1-2-1, 2-2-1. The fist number was the actual size of my parts, then the second number was for the three different orientations I have for each size and then I had the layers change to a lighter shade for plotting with the last number being 1 or 2. The 3 digit code I had works perfect for the blocks I created following KaDe King's tutorial and then adding additional lookups.

wow, thats amazing!

Superb explanation of the process. Thanks for taking the time. It's just a shame you needed to do this because Autodesk simply can't make something seemingly so simple require an overly complex workaround to achieve. They'll fix it in the end though, but it won't be until the 2030 release. The phrase 'glacial progress' doesn't even touch the sides when it comes to Autodesk.

You're the best

Would this work if I needed a stretch action parameter associated with the geometry in each visibility state?

This looks like it will work, unless you are having a problem getting the two look ups to attach themselves to the one parameter. I have followed EVERY step up until you drag it out into the place where you are going to put it and then it only shows just ONE look up action. What am I doing wrong? Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hi! Great video! I have a quick question though, if you could help me please! I amusing AutoCad 2023, when I create the 'Double Lookup', and add 2 actions to it, then add it to the block, I do not see 2 actions like yours.. It only shows 1. Even when i double check my work, and look at the properties of the parameter set, to make sure I have 2 actions, which I see are lookup, and lookup. Any thoughts? i assume AutoCad has made somechanges from the 2018 version your using, to the 2023 version I am using.

If you have three pieces that you want to associate with a visibility (sofas, tables, and ottomans, for example) do you have to create a triple lookup set?

Were you able to create a triple lookup?

This is a great tutorial, thank you for creating and sharing this. Autodesk, if you're reading this, please make this easier to create multiple visibility states :) Hire KaDe and I'm sure she can help figure it out.

Hi...i applied this procedure to develop my dynamic block which has exactly same requirement. But it was not working as was my expectation, one visibility was missing there but it can be find if i choose another visibility set. can anyone suggest me anything to sort out this?

Can this be applied to welds? This is showing a two variable mode (sofa, end tables), I am trying to do a 4 variable (leader, field/shop, weld type, tail)

Also, as someone that's currently creating a block with 224 possible combinations, I REALLY feel like AutoCAD should take this up and make this an automated feature.

i forgot to assign action to the linear parameter with list and it works as well :D

Very helpful but Autodesk need to make this easier. It's ridiculous that we have to go through so many step to do something so simple

Thank you very much for very useful post. Mam need your help for how to draw circle having various diameter by lookup parameter?

Can i some how make 3 lookaps ... and more?

So it will not let me make a look up parameter with two look up actions, I am using autocad LT, so I am not sure if that is the issue.

What a Disaster... ACAD used to be about keeping things Simple and Universal. This is horrible to try to reverse engineer other people's work. What a failure on Autodesk's part. I can't believe how bad such an easy to use program that everyone could use has become.
