Hi guys, I am struggling to replicate what was possible with plug-ins such as Elefront with the new native GH components… Is it possible to bake objects pressing a button to assigned layers and have those objects get color and material properties all from the layers? I was doing it like this with…

I also did that exclusively with Elefront until R8 was out then R8 shipped with a new set of GH components that allow a very good handling of baking, updating, retrieving and filtering geometries, layers, blocks, object properties from the Rhino document so, in short :slight_smile: if you are on R…

[image] inno: so, in short :slight_smile: if you are on R8 I very much think you can do all those things using native R8 components from the Rhino GH tab Yupp, that is what I am trying to do, I just don’t know how :laughing:

In addition to the docs that Andy shows, here is the Rhino 8 components throwing objects on different layers and displaying with different colors. Material could also be assigned. [image] [image]

Another question, how can I create Text with existing Annotation Style from Rhino? I have queried the annotation styles in document, and I have created my text, but how do I tell GH that the text needs to have this annotation style? [image]

This is terrible guys. Guess I am back to using Elefront. [image]

Groups are not considered geometry and are more of a selection set than anything. A unique grouping of various model objects. I’ll see what we can do in supporting those as model objects. Annotations Style Overrides [image]

New question, how can I convert each of the inputted objects to blocks? For instance, if I have a list of 20 breps, have each brep be a new block and bake its instance in place. I have been trying like this but it does not seems to be working :frowning: [image] Example here: example.gh (4.8 M…

The example file sent runs well on my Rhino 8.7 build. I hit the Push/Pull button to create and insert them into Rhino. Here is the example: [image] As for layers, the objects can be placed on layers before putting them into the Block definition. And the inserts themselves can be put on layers …
