how to insert blocks at multiple locations?

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to use block in flamingo, and I wanted to insert a block definition at multiple locations at the same time but couldn't figure out a way to do so quickly.

In the model attached, the sphere is defined as a block instance, and all the dots are where the blocks need to be inserted. But Rhino only allows me to insert one by one, which would be too tedious. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks!

You can try this script. To use it, unzip some place, drag and drop onto Rhino

the alias that runs it is CopyBlockToPoints

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the script! It works! I am fairly new to scripting and programming in general. I am wondering where I can learn more about the scripting? Thanks again!
