Quite often i want to make a switch in my filters to give a "this or that" option, But the switch tool wont allow me to submit with only 2 options, and tells me to use a checkbox. This checkbox thing is not always do-able for some of the switches I want to do.
What I have been doing is making a third switch option and simply having it repeat one of the other options. Its a usable workaround, but I would much rather be able to have the switch tool allow me to make switches between 2 things instead.

Any ideas?

(or maybe I am not understanding how to put the checkbox in properly...I can accept that too LOL)

the checkbox component, when used with a switch, also needs to be re-mapped. that's the secret. just hit the 're-map' option and then set your values according to the switch.
If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

Or you can use Blend with a checkbox connected to Opacity. Make sure the checkbox outputs 0 and 100 -- other values will cause blending and thus slow down the rendering.
