Creating an object from one layer onto another layer

Scripting
,
1

I am trying to add a sphere off of the two points I made but on a different layer. the new layer would be named Audio Evaluation. The dataset part of the script can be ignored, later on I will be using that to create the radius of the circle, but for now Just making the circle with a specific layer would be helpful.

thanks,

Hi @Christopher_Gornall,

To add objects to different layers, than the current layer, a new object attribute’s object and set it’s layer index to the appropriate layer. Then pass this atttribute’s object to one of the object table’s “Add…” functions.

For example:

import System
import Rhino
import scriptcontext as sc

def TestAddPoint(point, name):
    if point.IsValid:
        layer_index = sc.doc.Layers.FindByFullPath(name, True)
        if layer_index < 0: 
            layer_index = sc.doc.Layers.Add(name, System.Drawing.Color.Black)
        attribs = sc.doc.CreateDefaultAttributes()
        attribs.LayerIndex = layer_index;
        sc.doc.Objects.AddPoint(point, attribs)
        sc.doc.Views.Redraw()
        
point = Rhino.Geometry.Point3d(3,2,1)
TestAddPoint(point, "test_layer")
