Ejas,
Thanks for reply and sorry for my delay in reply.
Well done and you got the answer I looked for it for a while.
Your point 3 is the answer. For Item 1 and 2, Changing grip numbers is not necessary and stretch was already applied to both lines.
What I didn't know at the time of posting this topic is your number 3.
To do a Flip we better do select all instead of drawing the rectangle to choose to be safe.
This can work for simple blocks but as your block gets complected you need to specifically choose what to be selected in your actions.
With any action applied to a parameter we create an extra object which cannot be selected by normal window selecting IF IF IF the variable bactionmode=1
Set bactionmode to 0 and you see all new action objects and you can choose any you want.
Here is an example:
If you add a rotate parameter to the same block, you need to:
1- Set bactionmode=0
2- Click on Action called Rotate, and choose action called Leaf to add it to selection
3- Click on Action called Leaf, enter, select the angle parameter to add it to selection
4- Click on Action called Flip1 and either type "all" or click on rotate to add it to selection (make sure Action Leaf is selected)
This knowledge helped me to create my favorite door dynamic blocks for hinged and pivot doors. I know there are 10s of door dynamic blocks out on the web, but they didn't have all the options I wanted. For example, for pivot door, I wanted a block in which you can control some aspects with grips and/or properties menu like: Glass width, Pivot offset, Glass Thickness, Glass type (Laminated or not), Leaf rotation, alignment and finally flipping in/out and left/right. Making it was a challenge but you can do ANYTHING you want to, if you put your mind into it.
Thanks for reading,
Kind regards
