I want to try to shorten a grasshopper route with python. But, how?
I cannot get the 3D-coordinates of the corner-point somehow, what am I doing wrong?

Hey @Edward,
I think you misspelled the method you are trying to call. It should be PointCoordinates, and I also think you should revise your input.
See here for further info:

Thank you for your response.
Do you also know how to add values (sum)?
Sum or math.fsum does not work.

Check out the error you are getting. The fsum() only takes one argument, and you are feeding it two :-).
You could put them in a list to get around this:
>>> x = 10
>>> y = 43.5929
>>>
>>> sum([x,y])
53.5929
>>>
>>>
>>> import math
>>> math.fsum([x,y])
53.5929
Sorry for the snippet. I don’t have access to R3D/GH atm.

Another way to make it smaller without using Python, just makes it as an expression.

Somehow, I cannot stich the values together as a coordinate.
Do you know what I am doing wrong?

Hi,
You should try :
center = rs.AddPoint(Xcenter, Ycenter, Zcorner)

You can also create a text string that the point component will “understand”.
center = "{"+str(Xcenter)+","+str(Ycenter)+","+str(Zcorner)+"}"
But this doesn’t create a point, only a comprehensive string.
