Summary: Demonstrates how get a list of points that represent a Flamingo nXt plant.

I am trying to figure out how to get a list of points Flamingo nXt uses to represent a new Flamingo nXt plant in a document. What can I do?

The following are examples of how to get a list of points from a plant file definition.

RhinoScript

Option Explicit
 
Call Main()
 
Sub Main()
	Dim objPlugIn, plant, points, count
	On Error Resume Next
	Set objPlugIn = Rhino.GetPluginObject("8008880f-8d13-4b2d-92b0-727e12878a4c")
	If Err Then
		MsgBox Err.Description
		Exit Sub
	End If
  plant = objPlugIn.GetPlantFileName("")
  If Not IsNull(plant) Then
    points = objPlugIn.GetPlantPointCloud(plant)
    If Not IsNull(points) Then
      count = UBound(points)
      If count > 0 Then
        Rhino.AddPointCloud points
      	Rhino.Redraw()
      End If
    End If
	End If
	Set objPlugIn = Nothing
End Sub

Python

import clr
# Load the Flamingo nXt SDK DLL
clr.AddReference("FlamingoNXtSDK")
import FlamingoNXtSDK
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import scriptcontext
# Get the Flamingo nXt plug-in's SDK implimentaion, this will force the
# plug-in to load if it is not currently loaded
flSDK = FlamingoNXtSDK.SDK.FlamingoSDK
 
def GetSticky(name, default = ""):
    if scriptcontext.sticky.has_key(name): return scriptcontext.sticky[name]
    return default
 
def PlantPointCloud():
    plantFile = GetSticky("PlantFileName")
    result, plantFile = flSDK.GetPlantFileName(None, plantFile)
    if not result: return
    pointList = flSDK.GetPlantPointCloud(plantFile);
    if not pointList or pointList.Length < 1: return
    points = [(point.X, point.Y, point.Z) for point in pointList]
    rs.AddPointCloud(points)
 
if __name__=="__main__":
    PlantPointCloud()
