Hi! :slightly_smiling_face:

Is there any way of finding the “block instance ID” in grasshopper?
When i manually put the “ID” in grasshopper i can use it but i cannot find a way to search for it in grasshopper.

I can find the “block ID” but not the “block instance ID”

Have a look at this:

It uses the Dynamic Pipeline from Human to allow selection of Block instance from Rhino. But the 2nd component (C#) gives you the ID for the selected Block.

Hi Shaique.

I cannot get the Object GUID from block.gh file from the forum. Can you post it here?
