File3dmObjectTable.FindByGroup Method?

Hi everybody,

Why does the class Rhino.FileIO.File3dmObjectTable not have a “FindByGroup” method? However ObjectTable does…

The goal is to import groups from a “catalogue” Rhino file (for example screws drawings) in another 3dm file.

Many thanks.

The simple answer is that the document’s object table and the file I/O object table are two different objects.

The Rhino.FileIO.File3dm object does not expose the Group table. I’ve added this to our tracking system so we can add this functionality to the next release of Rhino.

In the mean time, if you need Group support and you are capable of using the C++ version of openNURBS, you might consider doing so.
