Rhinoscriptsyntax.coerce3dpoint for TextDots

Scripting
1

Hi,

I would have expected coerce3dpoint to be able to coerce a 3DPoint from a TextDot.

I understand it might be breaking current workflows, but it feels as a good powerup for a coercing method.

rs.TextDotPoint doesn’t work for you? --Mitch

Hi Mitch,

Well yes it does that is what I ended up using when no 3Dpoint could be coerced from the input object.

The issue I had was that I had to rewrite a script to use dots instead of points (for unrolling with attributes).
The old script coerced a 3D point from a point object and it struck me as odd that a dot could not be coerced into a 3D point.

Thanks

I suppose that’s a valid point (pun intended…)… :smile:

Sounds like a legit request. I added this to our wishlist at
