Modify grips via gumball while a script is running?

I want to start a python script, pause and let the user modify some grips of a line using gumball, and than start again.

How should the script know when to start back up again?

Generally, what you describe involved 2 scripts: a before and an after…

Hello Dale,

I thought that I could start it back again using a while loop and user input as you suggested in an older post.

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs

line = rs.GetObject(“select line”)

print (“line length=” + str(rs.CurveLength (line)))


rs.EnableObjectGrips (line, enable=True)

grips = rs.GetObjectGrip(“Select curve grips”)


rc="“

while rc != “c”:

#rs.Command(”_-Gumball _On", False)

rs.Command(“Move”)

rc = rs.GetString(“Enter c to continue”)

rs.Command(“SelNone”)

print “editing”


print (“new line length=” + str(rs.CurveLength (line)))

Is there any way I can use a Rhino.UI.Gumball method?

Rhino.UI.Gumball doesn’t manipulate Rhino’s built-in gumball. Rather, it’s for implementing your own gumball.
