Generation of Solids from Custom Node

I am trying to model multiple identical concrete units along a line. I have created a custom node that takes the user-defined geometrical inputs and generates the geometry of a single unit, then I generate a range of points to act as the origin for each instance of this custom node. If it worked as intended, I would then end up with a sequence of identical units at specified intervals. When I load the custom node into the main model, I get the following error, which indicates that my output solid is either blank or incorrect type. I cannot understand why this is happening? The custom node files (BoxUnit_v001) and main model file (Culvert_v003) are attached.

 Culvert_v003.dgnBoxUnit_v001.dgn

  • Hello Alex, 

    It seems like the when creating the GNT, the Replicable feature have not been implemented properly. Seeing the input of P0, it is an replicated input which means the GNT needs to be created on multiple instances. I have created a new GNT where i have added the replicable type in all the input nodes and once i have placed that in your Culvert model, i can see the geometry getting created. I have used the below settings to create the GNT.

      

    Please have a look at the attached GCP file where the GNT have been stored. You can import that using Packager. I hope this helps you.
