ObjectsByType

Returns the identifiers of all objects based on the objects' geometry type.

Syntax

Rhino.ObjectsByType (intType [, blnSelect [, intState]])

Parameters

intType

Required. Number. The type(s) of geometry objects (points, curves, surfaces, meshes, etc.) that can be returned. Object types can be added together to filter several different kinds of geometry.

Value	Hex	Description
(Default) 0	&h0	All objects (Default)
1	&h1	Point
2	&h2	Point cloud
4	&h4	Curve
8	&h8	Surface (single-face Brep or Extrusion)
16	&h10	Polysurface (multiple-face Brep or Extrusion)
32	&h20	Mesh
256	&h100	Light
512	&h200	Annotation
4096	&h1000	Instance (Block) reference
8192	&h2000	Text dot
16384	&h4000	Grip
32768	&h8000	Detail
65536	&h10000	Hatch
131072	&h20000	Morph control
134217728	&h8000000	Cage
268435456	&h10000000	Phantom
536870912	&h20000000	Clipping plane
1073741824	&h40000000	Extrusion

blnSelect

Optional. Boolean. Select the objects. If omitted, the objects are not selected (False).

intState

Optional. Number. The object state (normal, locked, and hidden). Object states can be added together to filter several different states of geometry.

Value	Hex	Description
(Default) 0	&h0	All objects (normal, locked, and hidden)
1	&h1	Normal objects
2	&h2	Locked objects
4	&h4	Hidden objects

Returns

Array	An array of strings identifying the objects if successful.
Null	If not successful, or on error. Object states can be added together to filter several different states of geometry.

Example

Dim arrObjects

arrObjects = Rhino.ObjectsByType(4 + 8, True)
