Hi Fabio,

You the CopyObject function instead of MoveObject one. Replace your last line with:

    duplicate_curve1.append(rs.CopyObject(curve1, (0,0,i*20)))

hi djordje, may I ask you a question?

I am trying to use list.index () to select a series of curves out of copies (the first, fourth, seventh and so on). in gh I would use cull index. is there a function that will allow me to do that in python? list.index is not finding any index in the list...

Hi,

Built-in "index" function would return an index of supplied object in your list. In this case it would be guid of your curves, that needs to be supplied.

What you need actually is SelectObjects rhinoscriptsyntax function, which requires guids of your copied curves, not its indices. Replace the last three lines of your upper code with:

listSelCurves1 = []
for i in range(0,len(duplicate_curve1),3):
    listSelCurves1.append(duplicate_curve1[i])
rs.SelectObjects(listSelCurves1)

Please attach your .py/.gh files too, for any future issues.
I would also recommend reading the Rhino Python primer.
