Referencing a surface from Rhino

[Ranukshi_Seneviratne]

Hi, I’m writing a code with a conditional statement and I’m struggling to reference a Rhino Geometry surface in the GHPython script.

This is what I have,

I do not get the prompt to select the surface on rhino in line 14 “Select floorArea”

I’m now trying to reference it using Rhino geometry but I can’t figure out how to

Hello! I’m not sure why your script isn’t working as expected in Grasshopper, but I’ve identified a potential solution that might be helpful for you. Here’s a more detailed code snippet that could assist you in obtaining a selected mesh:

import Rhino
import scriptcontext as sc


# Get the active Grasshopper document
gh_doc = sc.doc

# Prompt the user to select a mesh
obj_ref = Rhino.Input.Custom.GetObject()
obj_ref.GeometryFilter = Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectType.Mesh
obj_ref.Get()

# Check if the user made a selection
if obj_ref.CommandResult() == Rhino.Commands.Result.Success:
    selected_mesh = obj_ref.Object(0).Mesh()

In this script, Rhino library is used to interact with Grasshopper. The code prompts the user to select a mesh, and if the selection is successful, it stores the selected mesh in the selected_mesh variable. Make sure to integrate this code into your solution and see if it resolves the issue you are facing.
