make holes in solid

hello,

why there isn't a command in python to make directly holes in a solid?

why there is the "CapPlanarHoles(surface_id)" but not "MakeHoles(x, y, z, ....)"?

thank you, roy

Hi Roy

the general, simple answer would be probably 'because not enough people requested this', or 'it was not put on the todo list'.

But maybe we are lucky and there is something already going in this direction. To make sure I understand, what are the "x, y, z, ..." inputs to the MakeHoles function? Are they other surfaces, are they indices? If they are indices, what do they refer to?

Thanks,

Giulio

hi giulio,

thanks for your message.

I'm a not bad user of grasshopper and now I want improve it learning python. I'm replicating the grasshopper commands with python importing rhinoscriptsyntax where I can found a lot of grasshopper command ready to use. but i can't find a command to use in python to replicate directly the command "make holes" with all the variable necessaries to create the hole itself. "(x, y, z...)" was some variable to insert after an hypothetical function "make hole" in python.
