in a pyt (python toolbox): How do I make a boolean parameter default False???

MartinHvidberg

In a .pyt I can define parameters as described in :

ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)

I have created a boolean parameter, the code snippet is as follow:

	def getParameterInfo(self):
	"""Define parameter definitions"""

    ... some other parameters ...

   

	# 3. Overwrite
	param3 = arcpy.Parameter(
	displayName="Overwrite Existing OBJ",
	name="Overwrite",
	datatype="GPBoolean",
	parameterType="Required",
	direction="Input")

The parameter works, but it anoys me that it defaults to True, I would like it to default to False.

v.h. Martin
