Hi
I'm trying to write a simple script to offset a curve muliptle times (using a 'for loop') but I don't know the vb dotNet syntax. I'm sure lines 84, 88 & 89 are wrong. Any ideas.
Thanks. P

me in 19 different pipeline components. Marginally better, but I'll still need to do this operation approx. 80 times...gulp.
Here's a wishlist request for David: expose string inputs in the Geometry Pipeline for Layer and Name. If I had that, I could change one string to swap my whole geometry set! (My layers have names like "B1 red rail", "B1 blue rail" etc., then the next time I'll want "B2 red rail", "B2 blue rail" etc.)
BTW, I'm happy to script something in C# if it will help: maybe I could write something like the Geometry Pipeline that takes a string input for layer name? Hmmm...
…
by its own tangent vector on the curve... and this happens to the last item. Here's the algorithm:
B0 ----> B1
B1 ----> B2
B2 ----> B3
B3 ----> B4
...
…
as the coordinates to move the objects vs the global system they are on by default.
If I could plug my new planes into the xyz component that might solve my problem but this is clearly not possible.
any help would be greatly appreciated...…
hope it will do the job (maybe its not the cleanest way, but it works for me sometimes. Depending on the ending of the lists you should wrap or not the shift component.
Good luck…

all you need is this:
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rsa = rs.BooleanDifference(b1, b2, False)
Where b1 and b2 are your input breps. But I do not know why it is not working correctly.For some strange reason the RhinoCommon version works with no problem (check the attached files):
import Rhinoimport utility as rhutil# converting brep guids into Brep objectsbrepL1 = []brepL2 = []for brep1 in b1: brep1_object = rhutil.coercebrep(brep1, True) brepL1.append(brep1_object)for brep2 in b2: breps2_object = rhutil.coercebrep(brep2, True) brepL2.append(breps2_object)tolerance = 0.1a = Rhino.Geometry.Brep.CreateBooleanDifference(brepL1, brepL2, tolerance)
Before opening attached .gh and .3dm files, copy the "utility.py" file into your folder:"C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\Plug-ins\IronPython\settings\lib" - if you are using WinXP
"C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Rhinoceros\5.0\Plug-ins\IronPython\settings\lib" or if you are using Win7
I think <user name> might also be replaced with just: "Administrator".…
m b1 As Brep = Nothing
If (heights(b) > heights(b+1)) Then
b0 = breps(b+1)
b1 = breps(b)
Else
b0 = breps(b)
b1 = breps(b+1)
End If
Dim bDiff As Brep() = Brep.CreateBooleanDifference(b0, b1, 0.1)
If (bDiff IsNot Nothing) AndAlso (bDiff.Length > 0) Then
breps(b) = bDiff(0)
End If
