Hi,

I need to get the coordinate of a point.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/9/9/99024363f0b0d74d79f7d72f47f3bd22b42176e4.png)

The result I get with my script is:

\<Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry.Point object at 0x0000000000004B23 [Point(X = -11.987, Y = 15.666, Z = 10.000)]\>]

But I need:

(X = -11.987, Y = 15.666, Z = 10.000)

How can I get this?

Thank you in advance!

Can you show us how you’re getting this output? It looks more like a string than an object.

Ah. Looks like you’re using `print` instead of `OUT`. Print will log the output to the console. OUT will return the objects at the python node.

I am not using dynamo actually. I am running directly with python. Maybe that´s the problem.

Hmm. It’s still weird that it returns a description of the object.  
Try printing the points individually instead of as a list.

I did that but the ouput is:  
Point(X = -11.987, Y = 17.666, Z = 2.500)

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/4/e/4e97f6fbdfc332f091906f590c483f01b9dbf531.png)

I need:  
(-11.987, 17.666, 2.500)

```auto

for room in rooms:
    #t.Start()
    room_loc = room.Location.Point
    boundaries = room.GetBoundarySegments(SBO)
    segGroup = []
    print(room_loc)
    for bound in boundaries:
        pGroup=[]
        cLoops=[]
        for seg in bound:
            pGroup.append(seg.GetCurve().GetEndPoint(0).ToPoint())
            for p in pGroup:
                print(p)

```

You should just need to convert them to Revit XYZs.

I got it.

I need to append:

```auto
 pGroup.append(seg.GetCurve().GetEndPoint(0))

```

and not

```auto
 pGroup.append(seg.GetCurve().GetEndPoint(0).ToPoint())

```

```auto
for room in rooms:
    #t.Start()
    room_loc = room.Location.Point
    boundaries = room.GetBoundarySegments(SBO)
    segGroup = []
    print(room_loc)
    for bound in boundaries:
        pGroup=[]
        cLoops=[]
        for seg in bound:
            pGroup.append(seg.GetCurve().GetEndPoint(0))
            for p in pGroup:
                print(p)

```

This way I get: (-11.987, 17.666, 2.500)

Makes sense, obviously. 😮

Thanks for your help Nick 🙂

Hello,  
Out of curiosity you can reveal your beginning of code  
it appears to be a memory stored object returned every time with the class  
(I’m not strong, the terms are not necessarily the right ones)
