(OP)
Dear all,

I'm trying to write a script using the command "PointCloudSection". However, when the time is necessary to input the ends of the cross sectional line/plane. Rhino requires me to visually pick the two points or enter them in at the command line. I would like to enter these as cartesian coords from within the script (I'll be using variables), but I just can't find a way to do this. Can anyone help. So far my command looks like this;-

Rhino.command "! _-pointcloudsection _selall _enter"

now I'd like the script to automatically fill in the coordinates without user intervention.

I've been trying something like this (after defining the variables);

Rhino.command "! _-pointcloudsection _selall _enter a,b,c x,y,z"

But it just doesn't work!

Many thanks in advance,

Neil.
