He’s passing the Point class, feeding a point directly would take something like Point.ByCoordinates(0,0,0) instead. :slight_smile:

  1. Prior experience. We all learn over time.

  2. Common sense. Length of a line is likely how long it is…

  3. Try to get the documentation of that method or property. Not everything will have one, but something like this should get you started: OUT = doc(x.ThingFromInpsectOrDir)

  4. Google. python documentation __repr__ - Google Search

  5. Ask someone else. The forums, a coworker, etc.

There is a whole bunch more. The very end of the list is asking Chat GPT.
