Dear all,  
I am trying to create a rectangle by translating the info from a point (which is considered the midpoint of the rectangle geometry.). While I wrote the code in GHPython but got stuck. Am getting an error while trying to create a Rectangle 2Pt from gh python.  
Thanks in advance  
Vijesh

Hi @vijesh

Rectangle2PT component needs a plane, two points located in the plane defined before, and a radius. Maybe the mistake is because you are not assigning a hint to the variables.

In your case, x should be a plane, and y and z should be a point3D.

You can use `ghpythonlib.components` or `Rhino.Geometry`

Thank you very much for the replies. I did not set the points and plane on ‘Type Hint’. I have solved it with the given instructions. Thanks for both.
