Components now working fra Grasshopper with "blank space" in name

This problem with grasshopper is not creating the right componene i Tekla

when there is a “blank space” in the name. Is new. I have a lot of components that must be renamed to work with my grassshopper scripts.

Hope Sebastian will notis this.

Hi Søren, I’m not able to replicate this.

Could you share the component you’re using? What version did this start to fail, and in what version did it still work as expected?

Cheers,

Sebastian

Good morning.

It is in TS2025. Did not test TS 2026

Did not have the time to investigate what was wrong, I used a old GH script without TS component. Until yesterday :wink:

In 2024 all is good :blush:

O2_trin_GH_V2 only works for 2025/26

(Attachment O2 trin GH_V2.uel is missing)

Zip -à TS component

This is strange, all seems good here:

I tested with Tekla Structures 2025 and the link version 1.21. Using it through the Grasshopper Component in Tekla also works as expected.

You could try the latest WIP here:

There have been some small changes. For example, if you tried to insert the custom part with Grasshopper before it was created/imported in this model the link doesn’t find the right component and inserts the first custom part in the list. If that happens you would need to restart Rhino/Grasshopper. In 1.22 this shouldn’t be an issue any more, and the component instead warns you about a missing component. Something like this might be at play.

The other thing that comes to mind is that Tekla’s internal comparison of component names might struggle with spaces for some reason and select something that’s not a perfect match. Do you have other components that are similarily named or start.with the same string? E.g. what’s the name of the component that it does insert?

Edit: Also, does this happen when you try to insert system components with spaces like the “Auto bolt” component?

Cheers,

Iam running V1.21, so i dont know.

Auto bolt is in the the same GH script as the O2.. , and Auto bolt works.

Hmm. Wonder what it is.
