VB button Output Parameter data type

Hi,

I am trying to combine two grasshopper buttons. The first button produces a list lofts as list(of Object) in the output parameter, then feeds it into the input of the second button as a list(of surface).

However, when I do this is in 1 VB button it does not work. Does anyone know the data type to dim the first list (list(of object)) so I can avoid this? Or the data type of the output parameter?

Thanks

Correction:

The first button produces a list(of brep) as the output, which feeds into the second button as a list(of Surface) input.

Hi John,

note that Grasshopper uses a different terminology from the Rhino SDK when it comes to "Brep" and "Surface". In Grasshopper, a "surface" is any single-face brep with or without trimming information. In Rhino, a surface can never have trims.

You should probably paste some actual code here though so we can see what's going on.

Hey David,

Thanks for the response. I was able to achieve the same thing using NurbsSurface.Createfrompoints.
