rs.MoveObject/MoveObjects - two point option

[Mitch]

Hi Steve,

Wonder if these two methods could have the option to pass two 3D points instead of a vector for the translation - as in the current vbRhinoscript counterpart...

Thanks, --Mitch

This modification to the object.py module will accomplish what you are asking for. This modification only needs to be made for rs.MoveObjects and then both methods will allow you to pass in a tuple of two points, like this: rs.MoveObject(objectToMove, (point1, point2)). This may not be Steve approved, but it will work.

def MoveObjects(object_ids, translation):
    """Moves one or more objects
    Parameters:
      object_ids: The identifiers objects to move
      translation: list of 3 numbers or Vector3d or    
      tuple of a start point and an end point.
    Returns:
      List of identifiers of the moved objects if successful
    """
    if type(translation) == tuple:
        if len(translation) != 2:
            return None
        else:
            to_point = rhutil.coerce3dpoint(translation[0], True)
            from_point = rhutil.coerce3dpoint(translation[1], True)
            translation = to_point-from_point
    else:
        translation = rhutil.coerce3dvector(translation, True)
    xf = Rhino.Geometry.Transform.Translation(translation)
    rc = TransformObjects(object_ids, xf)
    return rc
