finding the centroid of a brep

this isnt so much a GH question as it is a rhinoscript question but maybe someone can help. i need to move boxes at random in the z direction. this is easily done in GH but i need to maintain the layers they are in and baking each one individually is going to be too time consuming. I have a working script up to the point where i need to specify a start point and an end point. for the start point i need the centroid of the box but i am not sure what the function is in the rhino namespace for this. any help?

6 years later, I have kinda the same problem. I am using rhinoscriptsyntax in Python (see image) but what I get is not what I expected. How do I get 3dpoints as output?

Like Tom said, you want to use RhinoCommon. I suggest avoiding rhinoscriptsyntax at all costs. See below.
EDIT: You can use the same logic for closed volumes with Rhino.Geometry.VolumeMassProperties.
