## Script Context ##

### Spaces to store objects in GH Python ###

There are 3 spaces to store objects information:  
\- GH document  
\- Rhino document  
\- memory space on computer

In GH document and Rhino document, objects we can touch are not objects themselves but just interfaces. Namely, objects – actually they are not objects anymore – in these spaces are just IDs that indicates where the objects are stored in memory space on computer. GH Python can access these objects via rhinoscriptsyntax or ghpythonlibs. In these spaces object attributes, which are like color, layer, material, etc, is stored separately, because objects in these spaces cannot have object attributes.

As for the objects in memory space on computer are able to be dealt with Rhino.Geometry. Objects in memory have object attributes.

### Objects V.S. Guids ###

Objects in GH document and Rhino document are called “Guid” and in memory space is called by objects type (Rhino.Geometry…).

Following image is the result displayed on Grasshopper with these 2 codes.

**– Rhino.Geometry**

import Rhino.Geometry as rg
    
    a = rg.NurbsCurve.Create(False,3,x)
    print a

**– rhinoscriptsyntax**

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
    
    a = rs.AddCurve(x)
    print(a)

### How to change spaces to work ###

We can easily change working space between grasshopper document and memory space in computer by changing script libraries. But to change working space into Rhino document, we need to import a function from Rhino. Scriptcontext is the function to change working space between GH document and Rhino document.

To import scriptcontext, you can just type a line at the beginning of your code:

import scriptcontext as sc

and to change space to store objects, you can change doc by making a change in “sc.doc”:

#GH doc to Rhino doc
    sc.doc = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc
    #Rhino doc to GH doc
    sc.doc = ghdoc

### Accessing to Rhino Document space ###

Now you can access to the rhino document space using scriptcontext. You can easily bake object into Rhino, make some modification in objects in Rhino space, and also deal with layer structure.

### Create objects in Rhino directly from GH Python ###

To add object into Rhino, you can just go to Rhino document with scriptcontext and create object with rhinosctiptsyntax.

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
    import scriptcontext as sc
    import Rhino
    
    #go rhino
    sc.doc = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc
    rs.AddCurve(x)
    
    #back to gh
    sc.doc = ghdoc

And to move objects from Grasshopper to Rhino, namely to bake objects, you need to format GH objects for Rhino document. And also, you can add some attributes to objects to bake object with certain specifications.

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
    import scriptcontext as sc
    import Rhino
    
    sc.doc = ghdoc
    
    #get object id from grasshopper
    obj_id = x
    #convert grasshopper object into rhino object
    doc_obj = rs.coercerhinoobject(obj_id)
    
    #make attributes and geometry from rhino object
    attributes = doc_obj.Attributes
    geometry = doc_obj.Geometry
    
    #go rhino document
    sc.doc = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc
    
    #bake object with attributes
    rhino_obj = sc.doc.Objects.Add(geometry, attributes)
    rs.ObjectColor(rhino_obj, y)
    
    #back to gh
    sc.doc = ghdoc

### Dealing with layer ###

As you can add objects into Rhino, you can make layers from Grasshopper.

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
    import Rhino
    import scriptcontext as sc
    
    sc.doc = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc
    rs.AddLayer(name="new layer", color=0, visible=True, locked=False, parent=None)
    sc.doc = ghdoc

But to bake object on certain layer, you need to find layer id on Rhino to identify the layer to bake on.

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
    import Rhino
    import scriptcontext as sc
    
    #create layer
    sc.doc = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc
    rs.AddLayer(name="new layer", color=0, visible=True, locked=False, parent=None)
    
    #create rhino object
    sc.doc = ghdoc
    obj_id = x
    doc_object = rs.coercerhinoobject(obj_id)
    attributes = doc_object.Attributes
    geometry = doc_object.Geometry
    
    #select layer to bake and add to the attributes
    sc.doc = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc
    layertable = sc.doc.Layers
    layerindex = layertable.Find("new layer",True)
    attributes.LayerIndex = layerindex
    
    #bake object
    rhino_obj = sc.doc.Objects.Add(geometry, attributes)
    sc.doc = ghdoc
