Geometry Pipeline component

How exactly do you use the Geometry Pipeline Component? You have to specify a layer name to use and the name of the the file that you have opened in Rhino, right? The output is line is orange and the component says 'empty geometry parameter. Please advise.

Thanks

You need to just specify a Layer Name eg "Layer 01". At the bottom of the component you will see a filter by type UI that only selects the combination of Points, Curves, Breps and Meshes. These need to be Green in order to be enabled. either click or double click them

Danny ended-up writing a more complete (and all-around excellent) answer to this question five days later on a thread with the incredibly generic title "Grasshopper components". Check it out if you want a first primer on the Geometry Pipeline component.
