Find area of a curve

How would I find the area of a curve using VB? I found the areamassproperties method of the OnCurve class but its asking for points and vectors as arguments, and as I am new to VB script I wasn't sure how to convert the mp Massproperties object that is passed on by reference into an integer that I can pass back to grasshopper.Best,BenSee More

It's indeed not a high priority for Grasshopper, but it actually is somewhat of a priority for Rhino in general. We are expanding the number of scripting languages we support in Rhino5 and Rhino for Mac, and so far we've been using less…

VB and c# components are useful for small scripts and for those users without visual studio installed. Anything slightly complicated I would suggest would be difficult without developing the code in Visual Studio and cutting and pasting the code…

So what you are saying is that I can import all the namespaces etc so I get the type hints and so Visual studio will pick up any syntax mistakes in rhino or ONurbs methods, but there is no way to import or connect the variable comming into the VB…

There are currently no real debugging tools in the scripting components themselves. I seem to remember David saying that the scripting components were written by a 3rd party, so I wouldn't hold your breath for any being added. You could try…

With Visual Studio, you can debug into very easily. If you are compiling to a dll file (whether it's renamed to a .rhp or anything else), point the start external program reference in the debug settings to the Rhino executable. Then you can set…

Debugging within the VB Script Component/Visual Studio: Setting a Break Point

I am new to VB scripting and was dabbling with some scripting for Excel. I noticed that their scripting editor had a host of debugging features which seem essential, especially to someone starting out. Is there a way to set a break point and use a command window in order to Step through lines of code and access the value of variables, dimension & sizes of arrays etc?       Is their a way to use Visual Studio in order to debug scripts? I believe it has all the debugging features, but since…See More

Hi Ben, Decisions and trade-offs are always there when deciding on the best means and processes (or even software) when trying to develop something new and innovative. The point about sharing the definition is a very valid one if others aren't…

Lists Arrays and Trees, Oh my!

    I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how I should handle "trees" coming  into the VB component. I did a little test script to get the rank, and the Ubounds of the incoming list and array. (see attached) The rank is always 1, when it should 2, since the list of list is really a 2 dimensional array. (or am I wrong)    Also, the ubounds returns a list of a list of the ubounds, even when I set the ubound to an Int32. ( This might have to do with the fact that vb is type casting the int32 as…See More

I will give the cell by cell method a try. Easy enough to do via a loop. I guess what I can do is write information into excel, on a separate worksheet and then use Excel code to grab whatever info I need from that spreadsheet. That way the excel…

There are always more than one way to do anything, and this goes double for programming. However, just because there's one way to do something doesn't mean that all of those ways will work. Visually, I can't really see any reason why…
