So I decided to try messing around with Worksessions from Grasshopper, and I was looking for a way to switch Active model, adding models, removing models etc, but RhinoCommon doesn’t seem to provide much help on this: https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/RhinoCommon/html/T_Rhino_DocObjects_Worksession…

I’ve never used WorkSessions actually, not quite sure how they would extend to gh files. Also not sure to what extent they are covered by the SDK. @stevebaer is that your department?

OK, we’ll see what Steve says about this (he’s probably ducking and quickly adding some methods to RhinoCommon as we speak, and…) Anyway, since I have not used Worksessions very much manually I might not really understand its potential (and limitations), but what I was thinking was that Worksession…

Not sure it is useful for you but it was for me. Macau Hotel Exoskeleton was made by Front Inc and they use Grasshopper/Elefront and Rhino/Workessession . A good video is here https://wiki.mcneel.com/webinars/morpheus … This diagram shows the process. Rhino files via worksession store the da…

[image] laurent_delrieu: Not sure it is useful for you but it was for me. I’m constrained by restrictions regarding third party components, and a whole bunch of other requirements which I would implement using my own code. But to be able to do all that, I also need full access control of Work…

This functionality isn’t available in our SDK yet. I added a feature request for this at https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-49088

You can get around the missing SDK worksession functionality using the command line. Here is a snippet form a Grasshopper python component i use to automate creating worksessions: """attaches a list of files to the current worksession Inputs: P: file paths to attach to worksession O…

Hi @stevebaer , any plans to include it in Rhino 7? Thanks, Dmitriy

It’s hard to really make any promises about this getting into V7. The issue is on Dale Fugier’s list and is marked as V7, but this can change depending on how hard this ends up being to implement. For these initial service releases we are also a bit more focused on fixing bugs that people users are …

Hi @dharman I am using your python code to attach worksession files from grasshopper. Strangely I get the file path letters attached as worksessions in rhino. I tried to fiddle around with the ’ and " but could not make it work. Using R7. [image] Do you have any suggestions what I might be poss…

The P input should be a list. Right click on the input and set access from item to list. Line 20 of the code expects a list of strings. If you provide a single string as you have, then python will iterate through the characters in the string. Later versions of this also check if the path is an act…
