from CATIA to Rhino









Simple script to create Rhino Layers by Color. This comes in handy when I'm working back and forth between Rhino and CATIA :) b

When I export geometry from CATIA, iges automatically puts ALL objects in ONE layer, but as long as different colors have been assigned to the geometries, I can separate them by using "select by color" command in Rhino.

I was preparing dxf file for TENSYL (minimal surface analysis software). TENSYL is hypersensitive about layer and geometry standards to run correctly. While troubleshooting the conversion problems from CATIA and Rhino, I did this "select by color" procedure sooooooo many times. I finally gave in and wrote this script.
