rs.GetObject not working for objects in Layout Detail

[ivelin.peychev]

I found the solution here:

Select/Pick object in a detail from within a layout view

just to answer my own question, i guess this would do it to get the object without activated detail: import Rhino import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs def DoSomething(): gp = Rhino.Input.Custom.GetPoint() gp.SetCommandPrompt("Pick point on object") get_rc = gp.Get() if gp.CommandResult() != Rhino.Commands.Result.Success: return objref = gp.PointOnObject() if objref: rs.SelectObject(objref.ObjectId) DoSomething() c.
