Orca3D Rhinoscript Referencing

[jdubu11]

Hi, I have a question concerning the names given in Orca3D. When Orca3D generates a hull from the hull assistant, it automatically names the “Hull”, “Deck”, and “Transom”. Is there a way to reference those names in rhinoscript?
The only thing I’ve found is to call the thirty-something digit id code rhino references to each, but that’s not really an option. Any advice you have would be great.

Thanks,
Josh

Hi Josh,

There are two ways you can make reference to Rhino objects with names in a script.

One is to use the Rhino command "SelName" to select objects by name, e.g. Rhino.Command "SelName Hull". Then you can operate on the hull with commands that use the current selection. Similarly you could use the Rhinoscript method, Rhino.ObjectsByName to find objects with a specific name.

A second is to use the Rhinoscript method, Rhino.ObjectName, to query and objects name and then do something if it matches a specified name.

Hope this is what you are looking for.
