Hi, I have a Gauge control with 2 needles which means it has 2 elements. How would I unboundle the Gauge cluster into separate elements in order to change the property node settings for each element. This is probably an easy answer for someone I hope 😃
Tnx.

Which property do you want to act uppon?
If you only want to access the sliders' properties then you need to use the "active slider" property (i32 from 0 for the first slider to n-1) then set all its properties.
The knob is a special kind of cluster I think, it doesn't inherit from cluster but from numeric, see the viserver class tree :
Hope this helps

Actually I just wanted to split the 2 element cluster into single elements and pass it into a property node so I can modify it's behavior. How would I do that?

hmm, I thought I tried the obvious. Yes, this is what I needed.
Tnx.

From reading the previous posts i have the impression that the OP does not use the same terminology as "we" do....
I think he is only looking into changing the VALUE of the sliders. The gauge cluster simply contains scalar numeric elements which holds the value property for each needle (aka "slider"). So Gerd's answer with unbundle/bundle (cluster palette) is the correct hint.
If the OP really wants to change e.g. graphical appearance of the needle (e.g. color), the data cluster of the gauge is of no use. The OP must use a property node of the gauge itself, set the active slider (see above, this is a needle!) and select the expected property, e.g. color.
hope this helps,
