Snapping to live GH objects

Grasshopper

Hi, I am pretty new to Rhino/GH environment. How do you snap to objects generated by Grasshopper that are not baked in? Is that possible?

Thanks,

Eugene

While ‘snapping’ as such is not possible, what is possible is to reference an object by “closest point”, “closest object” and so on. You can designate a point (in rhino), reference grasshopper objects to that, by position, size, etc, and then when you move the point, the grasshopper object will follow.
Now, with code, you could read the cursor position, find the closest grasshopper object to the current cursor position, then auto bake that object at the current cursor position.
