Loft Options Control

Does anyone know what data type the Loft options "O" input will accept. I have a loft component that i constantly change the loft options on and I was wondering how to either create an boolean to toggle the "align sections" parameter or possibly a VB component to access the SDK loft options. Does the SDK loft method even accept an "align sections" argument?

Nevermind, I forgot about the ability to extract parameters! Now i can set up a simple VB conditional toggle.

Hi, I would love to see the VB script for this if you do one. I'm am new to VB scripting, by new I mean I haven't done any yet! But I'm interested to see how to call up rhino commands using it. I think the best way to learn (maybe) is to analyse other scripts and see what happen when I tweak something....please tell me if I'm wrong!

Dear Bob

thanks for that I think I get it. For setting a switch for loft options would you set up a single switch with all variables i.e. tight, loose, closed etc....?

Yes that's right however, this logic only works for 2 options (shpere or circle). For something with more than two options you might have to get a little deeper into RhinoSDK using the CRhinoGet class to use command line options for the loft. I know this would be the starting point but it's a little out of my skillset.
