Hi Matei,

Use this:

Part of the definition you need are these four components right of "Rectangle" component. The rest I used just to simulate your data.

Hi Djordje,

Thanks for the reply.

But you don't know if there is any way to directly access the data?

I used a slightly different work around, which I think is more flexible (my rectangles are not aligned to any plane)

If your rectangles are not parallel to any of XY, XZ, YZ and parallel with X,Y,Z directions, then - yes, my method would not work, and yours will.

That is why it is always helpful if a .gh file is attached, as from your screenshot it was not clear whether your rectangles fulfil upper conditions or not.
Glad you solved the problem.

This is all pretty horrific. I'll add a component for this that can sit next to Circle Center.

in the meantime, a script that does the same:

private void RunScript(System.Object x, ref object p, ref object w, ref object h)
{
Rectangle3d rect = (Rectangle3d) x;
p = rect.Plane;
w = rect.X;
h = rect.Y;
}
