One of the biggest advantages with the RhinoPython is that you can acces and use the RhinoCommon API

Note that all of rhinoscriptsyntax is build this way.

I’m not sure about your proficiency with coding, but what helped me a lot was to scrutinize the rhinoscriptsyntax code by means of breakpoints in the python editor.

See this post that might help follow my route:

From Python into Rhino Common

Continuing the discussion from Is this the best way to automatically update linked blocks?: Hi Jorgen, Below a description on how I find my way in RhinoCommon through Python: starting with the code: import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs blockList=rs.BlockNames() I put a debug breakpoint at the last line: [image] Run the code with the green arrow (F5). The script stops at line 2 and you get options to continue, StepInto SetOver over …etc Choose StepInto [image] The script will step into the …

Another extra: here on Discourse support for rhinopython is easier to get as my impression is that more (active) users use it.
