I have never understood why Blocks were never taken seriously.
Seeing what’s in a block isn’t very difficult.
Here I made a simple “print block content and 1 level sub content” script just to check it out:
I really wish our Block needs could be taken seriously.
(Edit: This was just a test for this perticular block as I didn’t cover other elements in that script at all)

Hehe, it was just related to your post one hour ago:
osuire:
By the way, note the stupidity of the Rhino block manager which does not allow to open-up the nested blocks to see their content, or edit directly the blocks name without having to pop-up another window.

Oh yeah, but this is nothing compared to the moronic block editor interface .
Feel free to chime in on that one too.

I would say I’m responsible for a lot of these features. I read all of these posts.

First question : have you ever been in a position where you needed to produce drawings/plans/documentation… from a 3D model ?

Yes, for over a decade. I don’t have the energy to get into it with you today, sorry.

ah, that’s great to hear, so what’s your opinion on this topic, are these request anywhere feasible for the near future? And how is this considered in terms of importance in relation to all the other stuff that you do, because that seems to be more than a day-task…

Hello,
For me it is essential having hatched sections, the possibility to create not only a straight section, create round and polygonal detail views…

Starting to get the hang of it.
At a McNeel Europe training in Barcelona, I recently told David that his work had changed my work life.
Grasshopper puts the fun back into modeling, and allows to muscle-up your brains, leveraging at last that old math from College.
I sure wish he was in charge of more stuff at McNeel…

Out of curiosity, are you also responsible for the Blocks ?

I have a feeling this stuff will get done, after V7, step by step, and by also bringing new people to solve it:

The mention of blocks in any thread on this forum should come with a trigger warning!
