creating a geometry using C#

You need to create a new Rhino.Geometry.Circle, it has several constructors and also several properties and methods that would allow you to modify/transform the circle. Can you be more specific about how exactly you want to make these circles.

Hi all,
It'is possible create à customer primitive in GH ?

I would like create à primitive by an équation and définition !

Hi,

Take a look at this, it uses the circle constructor with central point and radius.

file attached...

can you tell me whats wrong with this code?

 

private void RunScript(object x, object y, ref object A)
  {
    //your code here…
    Grasshopper.Kernel.Geometry.Circle2 cr;

    cr.O.x = 0;
    cr.O.y = 0;
    cr.R = 1;
    A = cr;

  }

output says that Error:use of unassigned local variable 'cr'

whats wrong?

There is no Circle2 type.

Also be careful with properties that expose data like Points and Planes. These are structs, not classes.

 

To make a circle like this I'd use something like:

 

Circle cr = new Circle(Point3d.Origin, 1.0);

A = cr;

Forget Circle2 and the entire Grasshopper.Kernel.Geometry namespace, it's not of use to you. You want to create Rhino circles. Which means you either need to look in the Rhino.Geometry namespace (which is already imported) when using the new SDK or the RMA.OpenNurbs namespace if you're using the old (legacy) SDK.

 

So, according to the new SDK the type you're after is Rhino.Geometry.Circle (or just Circle since Rhino.Geometry is already imported via a using statement).

You want a list containing a single Circle?

 

Well, either way, you'll need to do something like this:

 

Dim circles As New List(Of Circle)

For i As Integer = 1 To 100

  circles.Add(New Circle(Point3d.Origin, i))

Next

A = circles
