Working with large numbers of options

[derekjackson]

Hi, I'm trying to make a script where Grasshopper will populate a Zone with objects based on data in a spreadsheet. Unfortunately there are hundreds of potential objects that could be required, so I'll need to access all of these within the script.

As Grasshopper doesn't let me pick objects dynamically, I'm struggling to find a way to deal with large numbers of objects efficiently - can't see a way round scripts that look a bit like this. Does anyone have any great ideas of how this could be made more manageable and streamlined?

Thanks
