Rhino Count Question

[R.ch]

Hii..
We are trying to develop new functions and tools in Rhino, this is the program that we want to customzie. I'm trying to count the objects and then I have a list of things that we can do with those objects, but I couldn't find anything that only counts the objects in my window.. Is there a method that I'm overlooking or anything that returns a count??

My question is how to get a count of the objects withing a selection window I dragged around a model. or how to get a count of the existing objects without selecting any...

Could you tell me more about using "block" / "list" please...


Thanks all,
R

did you ask there? I believe that is the best tech support you can get


even if the object is 1 point , block it and then list and you will get a count on that is what i meant.
worked well for me when doing a huge fancy casino parking lot to get curves not attainable in other cad.

I'm looking for a method/function in rhino that will return an integer which is a count of the objects existing in my model)..

So I want to run my code to be able to delete all the "surfaces" in my model, so I want rhino to count how many objects there are, loop that many times, test for surfaces and then delete them.. I got the other pieces working, but I can't get the count that I need...

Thanks all,
