texte from rhino to grasshopper

hi everyone,

who know how to input textes from rhino to grasshopper?

I ask this because I am buliding a site with information from cad. I have thousands points of attidute infomation. I input that to rhino and I get "texte" type. With "list" commande, I can see clearly that each texte is associated to a point-based plane and has a texte valeur. I want simply input all txt into grasshopper and give them a height so that I can build the Topo exactely.

thank you.

Horster Tools Add-on has a Read Text component?

Vincent Soler has posted a couple quick scripts that take text input from a rhino doc. It uses the insertion point of the original text object, and moves the point to the corresponding elevation.

If you paste this code into a new VB object, (math->scripts->VB) it will allow you to reference all the text objects into a GUID param in GH. Plug that into the x input of the VB component you just created. NOTE: right click on the X input of the VB component and change the type hint to guid.

Dim objref As New docobjects.ObjRef(x)
Dim txt As TextEntity = objref.TextEntity
a = New point3d(txt.Plane.OriginX, txt.Plane.OriginY, txt.Text)

I forget the exact post, but I think it was something like text to elevation.
