Grasshopper - generative modeling for Rhino

Formerly Explicit History

For designers who are exploring new shapes using generative algorithms, Grasshopper® is a graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino’s 3-D modeling tools. Unlike RhinoScript, Grasshopper requires no knowledge of programming or scripting, but still allows designers to build form generators from the simple to the awe-inspiring.

Output Line to start and end coordinates

All, Just wondering if any one has any experience with this? I'm interacting with a home grown FEA piece of software and need to provide X_start Y_start and X_end and Y_end points -A
