  johannes,
  
  Thank you again for your detailed advice.
  
  I am looking at your code NClosestPoint as it is very useful for me. However I did put a question about your code. Could you please take a look at it? Thank you so much.
  
  Best wishes

  hi ning,
  
  ok. there are some ways to take a look into the code during the process...
  the first is to print out one data set with the
  1. Rhino.PrintEx("your data") - prints one variable out in the command line...
  2. Rhino.Msgbox("your data") - the same but in a message box.
  the problem is that you can only print out one information and not a whole array structure.
  but you can find in hanno's array libary a function for it. it's called array_print(). It's prints out the whole data structure into the command line of rhino...
  
  you will find it here: www.rhinoscript.org/rhinoscript/37
  just load that lib and all included functions are availible up to next restart of rhino...

  johannes,
  
  Thank you for your comment again. Let me to clarify my target here.
  
  I normally use Grasshopper to handle models. Unfortunately some functions of Grasshopper have limit of node number, which forces me to make my own codes. However, I do hope I can jump in and back between my code and Rhino (even with Grasshopper).
  
  In my this question, I am lookig for a similar function like LIST to show a table so that I am able to check values of the array in Rhino during the code development. By the way, I can exchange data between several different programs.
  
  Actually I am even wondering if Rhino can show me the code somewhere corresponding to the manu operation I am doing. Some programs provide the very useful function.
  
  I do appreciate your kind help, in paricular some simple questions that a lot people would not like to talk with.
  
  Best wishes

  hi ning,
  
  what do you mean with rhino menu... do you want to make a makro, button,... ?
  we work with vbscript because there is no menu for it.
  
  example to acces your array:
  arrTest(10,5)
  
  maybe take a look on 'more dimensional arrays' or 'nested arrays'...

  Hi, there
  
  I use the code to produce an array (23000 X 6). The first three items of each row are coordinate values, the other has their physical meanings.
  
  However, I have no idea how to access the array from Rhino menu.Could you please give me some help? Thanks.
  
  regards
