Rhinoscript to rhino common - bounding box and select

[revink]

Hi,

I have for long written codes in python for rhino using rhinoscriptsyntax but since I have now to deal with a large number of geometries to be processed I thought that it could improve the speed of the code by using rhino common syntax instead (which I understand would run much faster). Hope the question below is not too stupid!

I am trying to select objects (one set from layer and one from selection) get their bounding box and compare them.

My first problem is that I don’t know what is the equivalent of GetObjects and GetObjectsByLayer in rhino common. I tried Rhino.Input.RhinoGet.GetMultipleObjects() but doesn’t seem to work (requires all the inputs?)

The second is that even if I use rhinoscriptsyntax I cannot evaluate the bounding boxes by using Rhino.Geometry.BoundingBox(rs.coercegeometry(objs02[j])) as it is telling me that a Brep is returned while Ienumerable required.

Sample code below.

Any suggestion? In general where would you look if you have to translate a script from rhinoscriptsyntax to rhino library?

Many thanks in advance

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import Rhino

objs01 = rs.ObjectsByLayer(“1”)
objs02 = rs.GetObjects()

rs.AddLayer(“duplicate”)

for i in range(0,len(objs01)):
for j in range(0,len(objs02)):

    box1 = rs.BoundingBox(objs01[i])
    box2 = rs.BoundingBox(objs02[j])
    
    if box1 == box2:
        rs.ObjectLayer(objs02[j],"duplicate")

Hi revink,

Not a specific answer to you question but rather a few links to guide you into RhinoCommon. This way you know how to see how methods like ObjectsByLayer use RhinoCommon

Also to format python code in a post use this wrapper:

Translates to:

Yes, Have a look at these screenshots from the editor. You can click at the position of the red dot to insert a breakpoint. This will halt the script at that point and you can inspect the content of the current variables: [image] [image] [image] More to find on rhinocommon: https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/RhinoCommon/html/N_Rhino.htm#! search for plane for example: [image] [image] A good way to explore working with rhino common in python is to insert breakpoints before a rhinoscri…

Continuing the discussion from Is this the best way to automatically update linked blocks?: Hi Jorgen, Below a description on how I find my way in RhinoCommon through Python: starting with the code: import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs blockList=rs.BlockNames() I put a debug breakpoint at the last line: [image] Run the code with the green arrow (F5). The script stops at line 2 and you get options to continue, StepInto SetOver over …etc Choose StepInto [image] The script will step into the …

Possible returns from rs.coercegeometry

Hello all, I’ve inherited some ghPython code which is being used to convert a number of different geometry types to meshes. Right at the start of the code there’s a call to “rs.coercegeometry”. After some poking around, it looks like the documentation for the rs.coerceX functions hasn’t been published yet. This leaves me in a slightly uncomfortable position - I’ve got a big black box right at the start of a piece of code which I’m refactoring, and only the vaguest idea of what it does. This…
