So I have an event enabled PIO with a couple of Boolean parameters. Up until now I've been using the below to get the parameter's current state by converting the string to bool, as GetRField returns strings, which I thought was fine. show_weight_bool = strtobool(vs.GetRField(objectHand, objectName, "Show Weight")) HOWEVER An unexpected bug has come up, from someone who tried this plug in on a non english version of Vectorworks (it was German in this particular instance). The error thrown from the strtobool function, was: ValueError: invalid truth value 'wahr' From what I can gather, the GetRField seems to be returning the localized value for the checkbox (in this instance 'wahr' which I'm given to understand from a quick google means True), rather than, as I was hoping just a pythonic True, but in string form. Firstly is this working as intended? I presume so as it would make sense that if you were extracting the string you would want said string to be in the localized language rather than always in english... SO does anyone have any clever ways around this? I've been hunting through the Function Reference but nothing obvious has jumped out at me, I was hoping it might be as simple as there was a vs.GetRBool or something similar that returns a BOOLEAN value, but so far I can't find it (I'm certainly not saying it's not there, just that I have not been able to locate it!) I'm hoping there's a super obvious answer that I'm just missing here!

HI, Does anyone know if its possible to create a custom title block with a record field that draws information from the stacking order (as viewed in the sheet layers window) of the sheets so they can be listed as numbered separately from the 'sheet number' record? See screenshot. I want to generate a worksheet that is able to refresh this info as sheets get added to the file. Example: A.1 - First floor - 1 of 3 A.2 - Second floor - 2 of 3 A.3 - Third floor - 3 of 3 Thanks!
