bake

hi, I am trying to develop a component with c # .I need to do this :

1- create a first layer in rhino

2-Create a second layer in rhino

3- the output "A " baked in the first layer

4-the output "B " baked in the second layer

I don't know if it is possible to do this in my component and how ?

Note : "Bake" this is the function that exists when we do right click

thank you SAWSAN

string ln1 = "layername1"; //the layername

int lay1 = RhinoDocument.Layer.Find(ln1, false);

if(lay1 < 0)

lay1 = RhinoDocument.Layer.Add(ln1, Color.Black);

So now you have your Layer...now you can add your geometry to rhino and set this layer as attribute to the object.

Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectAttributes att = new Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectAttributes();

att.LayerIndex = lay1;

RhinoDocument.Objects.AddCurve(somecrv, att);

This is how it works basically...question: why do you need this? there are several existing solutions that work pretty well. I've lastly made a collection of scripts with basically all options available for bake: take a look at http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/fabtools

Cheers

This script only works in a c# script component...

in visual Studio you have to instantiate the rhinodocument

doc or RhinoDocument reference to Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc. So either instantiate both:

RhinoDoc doc = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc;

RhinoDoc RhinoDocument = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc;

but better change the variable name of RhinoDocument to doc. You can also replace doc and RhinoDocument and call directly Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.Layers ... ect.

Hi Florian ,

when the type is "List<Point3d> "

How do I change this :

RhinoDocument.Objects.AddCurve(somecrv, att);

it can be :

doc.Objects.AddPoint (....,att) ://

same case when I have " List<Curve>"

Always my layer is empty ://

thank you
