Export Curve Control Points
Windows only
Demonstrates how to export the 3D coordinates of a curve's control points to a text file using RhinoScript.
Sub ExportControlPoints()
'Pick a curve object
Dim strObject
strObject = Rhino.GetObject("Select curve", 4)
If IsNull(strObject) Then Exit Sub
' Get the curve's control points
Dim arrPoints
arrPoints = Rhino.CurvePoints(strObject)
If Not IsArray(arrPoints) Then Exit Sub
' Prompt the user to specify a file name
Dim strFilter, strFileName
strFilter = "Text File (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*|"
strFileName = Rhino.SaveFileName("Save Control Points As", strFilter)
If IsNull(strFileName) Then Exit Sub
' Get the file system object
Dim objFSO, objStream
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
' Open a text file to write to
On Error Resume Next
Set objStream = objFSO.CreateTextFile(strFileName, True)
If Err Then
MsgBox Err.Description
Exit Sub
End If
' Write each point as text to the file
Dim strPoint, strText
For Each strPoint In arrPoints
strText = Rhino.Pt2Str(strPoint)
objStream.WriteLine(strText)
Next
' Close the file
objStream.Close
End Sub
