Rhino script question
Hi iam wondering if its possible to write a script that will tell me if the selected object is closed or not.?
Is there a way of creating text in the command line as an output?
?????.

I wrote a script a long time ago that will report if an object is a closed "solid", and if not, it will report the number of naked edges. However, it's kind of pointless now as the ShowEdge command will do this for you, as well as show you the naked edges, and even let you zoom closer to them.
It also outputs the results to the command line.
Does this work for you, or is there something else you need it to do?

Ta. No want to be able to check curves as well.
Yes, this can be done. So do you need it to report closed polysurfaces and closed curves, or just curves?

You could select the curve, press explode, then join. It will tell you something like "3 opens curves joined into 1 closed curve". Rhino 4.0 does this.
The best way is to select the curve, then Anylize_Mass Properties_Area. This will tell you in the command prompt whether or not it is closed.
Wouldn't it just be simpler to use SelOpenCrv, SelOpenSrf or SelOpenPolysrf? Or their counterparts SelClosedCrv, SelClosedSrf or SelClosedPolysrf?The best way is to select the curve, then Anylize_Mass Properties_Area. This will tell you in the command prompt whether or not it is closed.
Whatever highlights (or not) will show you what you need to know.
You can also macro the three together into one command, give it an alias of something like SelOpenObjects or SelClosedObjects...
Or do you really need the script or command line report for something else?
