Okay, a really really basic Python/Grasshopper question

[blockyear]

I've been looking through all the forums and tutorials but can't see the answer to a really basic problem I have. Grasshopper/Python component. Script gets the active document and then the objects off a layer by name. There are 5 lines on the layer in Rhino. Python reports a list of 5 items... and I can open them up and see that they are the objects I want.

But when I assign the list to the Grasshopper Component output parameter, I get GOO. A list with strings identifying the types of objects but no longer the objects themselves.

What do I do to put the objects out so I can pass them to the next Grasshopper component?

Thanks!

Hi,
What I learned from Steve is that you can get the real Rhino geometry objects from doc objects with the attribute ".Geometry".

So, the following seems to work here:

Python Code:

import Rhino.Geometry as rg
import Rhino.RhinoDoc as rd
import Rhino
 
layername="junk"
doc=rd.ActiveDoc
 
objs=doc.Objects.FindByLayer("junk")
stuff=[obj.Geometry for obj in objs]

Hope that is the correct way to be doing this...
