I have had no luck with friends from the office to find any literature on VB. I have the Rhino Script pdf, but can't seem to find anything for VB. How hard would it be to make a RhinoScript component for Grasshopper, so I wouldn't have to figure out how to translate RhinoScripts into VB? Any help with this is greatly appreciated for those of us 'in training' !!!
