Utilizing Rhino Common SDK with python

[dcomeau]

Does anyone know how to implement Rhino common methods within python scripts ? I see many interesting methods like Curve.CreateFilletCurves but am not sure how they are implemented and all the examples are in VB or C.

Thanks !

Just import the namespace you are interested in:

import Rhino.Geometry

point = Rhino.Geometry.Point3d(1, 2, 3)
# etc...

See for instance

https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/RhinoCommon/html/M_Rhino_Geometry_Point3d__ctor_4.htm

Unfortunately not all methods have a Python example, but this one has. As you can see the code isn’t that different, barring for the grammatical differences.

Also you can use the source code of the rhinoscriptsyntax module for inspiration

Python : May the source be with you!

Hello everyone, I wrote a script to help me code in python and learn RhinoCommon and decided to share it with you As you may know, the rhinoscriptsyntax library is written in Python and uses rhinocommon functions, also in Python, under the hood. In order to look up the underlying code you can open up the full python file, you can use the inspect module or you can save the script below to your computer and run it each time you want to look up a particular function. For instance…
