Dear community,
Just a simple question: is there a native function call to section an object in python?
I know that I can call the command like
rhino.command "_section w0,-400,0 w0,400,0 _Enter"
but can this be done directly in Python or C# using functions instead of Rhino commands?
Same question for importing e.g. STL files: I know how to do it using a Rhino command, but wonder if this can be done directly in python or C#…
Kind regards,
Filip
You should be able to use rs.ProjectCurveToSurface(curve, surfaces, direction) and project a line onto the object(s) in the desired direction vector. That should be more or less the equivalent of the Section command as far as I know.
The RhinoCommon method (accessible in C#, Python, etc.) for this is Curve.ProjectToBrep()
Edit: forgot to answer the second question -
No, for importing/exporting binary files, there is no other method aside from scripting the Rhino command…
