Blocks dynamic grip

Dear All,

Does anyone own examples of parametric blocks made from Briscad to get dynamic grips like in these links shared by Bricscad

youtube.com/watch?v=XFSVwFFaJsU&t=2s

And a blog :

https://www.bricsys.com/fr-be/blog/dynamic-block-editing-with-dynamic-grips?srsltid=AfmBOop5UnaLvYdFU8rvo-0844pv-qx6XXI0qCm6dqsDXDuxHS-jQSfS

Example 1 :

I wish I could get a block made of a simple rectangle (including diagonals) and get handle grips to modify Width or Height of the rectangle.

Example 2 :

I wish I could get a block made of a simple rectangle (including diagonals) and get a toggle button to switch the visibility state (rectangle horizontal or vertical)

Thank you for your help

    In near by topic - was published example of parametric blocks for Timber structure. Basically rectangles with grips and visibilities.

    Thank you for your reply but I cannot find what I want.

    How to insert in a parametric block (with the bricscad block editor) some stretch grips (to strectch a block) and toggle button (to switch visibility states).

    To be clear, are only Autocad's dynamic blocks capable of creating these features ?

    Please see attached png file.

    @fst, I think you will find that not all the abilities of Dynamic Blocks are available in Bricscad.

    If you look at the Bricscad help in the grip editing section of the below link it mentions that there are certain grips unavailable at present.

    I know nothing about Dynamic Blocks, but it may be that Dynamic Blocks originally created in Autocad but demonstrated as being manipulated in Bricscad behave differently from Parametric Blocks created in Bricscad.

    @david

    Briscad help mentions that "Grip points are displayed on parametric block references, for exposed parameters related to the following parametric operations : Stretch"

    So I do not get why I can't see the grips in the graphical area after inserting some strectch vectors.

    The parameters I have created are exposed.

    You will find the dwg block enclosed

    I also need grips for parametric blocks. The usability through the grips is much higher than through the parameters in the properties.

    Grips are displayed in Bricscad v25 and can be used directly in graphical Area. No need to enter a value for the parameter in the properties panel.

    I still do not achieve to modify the visibility state from the graphical area through a button attached to the parametric block (even in v25) Any Idea to get the same behaviour like in Autocad ?
