Hi Glen, RhinoScript can be extended through a Plugin, in which case you can add all the windows and controls you like, or you could even constuct a webpage with VBScript code inside. Additionally, you could consider converting your code into VB.NET. All of these options exist alongside Grasshopper. I think it's safe to say that if you have an extremely specific goal in mind, you already have scripts that do what you need and all you really want is a slider control, then there are more elegant solutions that switching over completely to Grasshopper.
Also note that Grasshopper is currently still in Beta, and we have no clear plans about what to do when it's 'finished'. There exists the possibility that we may decide to sell it, in which case you might feel you shot yourself in the foot when you switched. -- David Rutten Robert McNeel & Associates On Sep 2, 2:20 pm, Glen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, all: > > I just stumbled upon Grasshopper and am quite blown away with the > potential this could add to Rhino for my work designing truss > structures.
