With a lot of work.....I am not even sure how it was all accomplished, I just know that it would take a lot of work to accomplish it. I still haven't gotten into the whole lookup functions. Thanks for charing though, this block will be extremely helpful when I need it.

in the Block Editor, if you r-click on the Lookup table action icon and select 'display lookup table' (in 2010+, double click lookup for previous) you can see that the sizes are all only linked to the diameter parameter for all visibility states, and that only the diameter parameter is scaling the geometry for all states.

quite simple compared to other types of blocks that combine vis & lookup
