Point

‘Represents a collection of 3D points’

Icon

Component

  • Points in this component are a ‘package’ of their three coordinates (x,y,z)

    • see {‘XYZ Point’} component in if you want to control and input each coordinate of the point individually

  • This component can represent one point or multiple points

  • Assign this component to a single point:

    • Right click on the component > Click 'Set One Point' > Cursor will appear on the Rhino drawing board, select a pre-drawn point in Rhino or draw point at this time (Grasshopper drawing board will automatically reappear after selecting or drawing the point)

          • (component turns grey when assigned)

  • Assign this component to multiple points:

    • Right click on the component > Click 'Set Multiple Points' > Cursor will appear on the Rhino drawing board, select a pre-drawn group of points in Rhino or draw points at this time (if drawing multiple points, press 'Enter' to return to Grasshopper drawing board)

      • (assigning multiple points by drawing them after clicking 'set multiple points')

  • Assign value as a point extracted from a list:

    • In many definitions, a curve or plane is being divided and a list of points is created and you may want to work with one individual point in that list. Use the {List Item} Component to extract the desired point from the list and connect the resulting value to the Point component.
