Reference Rhino Notes Tab to Grasshopper

[Brett_Abroe1 (Brett Abroe)]

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone has experience with referencing user text generated in the notes tab of rhino into grasshopper. A reasonable amount of googling didn’t turn up much, so I’m hoping any pros out there can assist.

Thanks in advance

Hi Brett

Googling will get you nowhere.
Some time ago I needed it desperately and I turned for help on this forum and I got the solution which I am sharing with you.

Awesome!

While looking into the code of your script - I was researching some of the commands and found that this is another solution to read notes for the current doc:

Seaching the forum for ‘notes’, you’ll find this…

Search by key value from notes

Notes can be retrieved with a python script. [image] Rhino - RhinoScriptSyntax (rhino3d.com) For key value filtering I would suggest to use User Atributes and Elefront. [image]

Thanks Martin - I may have been using weak search terms as i was mostly getting more general results from my searches. Will focus on being more specific next time Thanks!

How to retrieve notes that contains multiple lines to create a list?

Interesting. [image] You can see the notes on line 9 in the text panel. While the notes are on two lines in the Rhino file, they are printed as one string. The notes would have to be formatted in a specific way…

I replaced the unicode character 13 (line feed) and 10 (carriage return) with an asterisk and used the asterisk to split the text.

a = chr(int(x)+y)
