Implementation wish: rs.GetPointOn(Line or Plane)

Scripting
1

rs.GetPointOnPlane()
rs.GetPointOnLine()

And as a general question for both vb and python implementations of rhinoscriptsyntax, I wonder whether GetPoint and GetPoints could accept an arbitrary plane as argument for what is currently blnPlane or in_plane…

If that argument gets passed nothing or False, the point is unconstrained. If True is passed, it does what it does now, constrain to the active CPlane. If a plane is passed, then the points are constrained to that plane. Since the default behavior is not modified, this change should be “transparent” and not affect existing scripts.

Maybe not the answer you’re looking for, but with RhinoCommon you can already do this:

Hi Menno,

Thanks, yes, that’s what I did yesterday… Just think this would be a good addition to basic rhinoscriptsyntax…
