Setting Tool and Base via Code

[daniel.auer]

Hi,

is there an option to set the $TOOL and $BASE via code?

I found something like this in the forum, which hints that this is possible.

Hello,
Sure, it's just regular KRL, so you can use the Custom KRL command. Just note that it won't be simulated if it's only text in KRL.
Or are you referring by "via code" to something like Python within Grasshopper?
Best,

Hi Johannes,

thanks for your quick reply. Yes, by code I mean creating a TOOL and a BASE which i can simulate and use for reachability analysis. So either by Python or C# node.

I think the most straightforward approach would be to set the XYZABC values via your script and then use them as in the example!
You need to enable the Base option via right-clicking the core component, same goes for switching the Custom Tool - Plane component to accept XYZABC input.
Best,
