two basic (probably stupid!) questions on scripting...

hi everyone,
i've just started scripting a little bit...
i have two questions:
- is it possible to weld the vertices of a mesh through a VBscript (the same command as in rhino WeldVertices)? and choose automatically all the vertices?
- i tried to insert a script (david rutten's meshrelaxation script in my case) in a vbscript tab in grasshopper, but it doesn't work, i don't know if it's possible to do that or you have to change it a little bit...
thank u in advance!

Vittorio,
A Rhinoscript will not directly work in a .net component. While the syntax is similar for vb.net, there are some fundamental differences in the functions, variable 'types,' etc. It would have to be rewritten.

You can call the rhino utility WeldVertices in a VB script. You should be able to find an example of another rhino utility script and follow the lead from there. Or, if you post something you've worked on, I can help you fix it.

To Note,
If it is a Rhino Command, meaning, something you type into the command line or you can access through a menu, there are ways to call that from a .net component. There are some examples of this already out there.

And yes, as Elizabeth says, it can also be called from a Rhinoscript with:
Call Rhino.Command("-_WeldVerticies ",false) or something similar. You have to add in some selection in order for it to work on the appropriate geometry.
