rs.MirrorObjects() is broken?

Scripting

Hi everyone,

seems like rs.MirrorObjects() in Rhino 8 is broken.

snippet for test:

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs

plane = rs.WorldXYPlane()
square = rs.AddRectangle(plane, 300, 300)
start_point = (0, 0, 0)
end_point = (0, 1000, 0)

rs.MirrorObjects(square, start_point, end_point, True)

In Rhino 7 this snippet works (or in IronPython 2.7)

Best regards,

D.

If i go inside the rs.MirrorObjects() and change this code:

vec = end_point-start_point

to

... 
vec = rhutil.coerce3dvector(end_point-start_point)

function starts working

Yes, right now any function that relies on subtracting two points to create a vector is going to fail, because the point subtraction method is currently broken in Python 3. It should still work in Python 2.
