c# Component Array Input

Hello,

I am trying to get input an array of points from the points component of grasshopper into a c# component but it gets the inputs as 'object' type. When i select the typehint as Point3d, i can still not access the array of points input. I cant assign the input array to a Point3d array I created in c#. Any suggestions?

Hi Cen,

You can select 'List Access' and then 'Point3d'.

Later you'll still have to make it an array, if you absolutely need an array. Otherwise, you could just use the list. Arrays and lists pretty much do the same job.

I hope this helps,

If you need the array version of that data, you can just use this code:

Point3d[] array = x.ToArray();

but I'd rather use the list if possible, as the code creates a new copy.
