Content import problem with blocks/points

Hello everyone,
I noticed that no blocks that contain points can be imported with “Content Import”.
(see screenshot)

Is this already known or, better yet, is there a workaround for this?
I would be happy to receive answers and information.

Thanks.
mfg Matthias

HI Matthias,

I’ll try and replicate, can you run the SystemInfo command in Rhino and paste the result? Thanks

A quick test in our latest isn’t exhibiting the issue.

Thanks Matthais,

Can you provide a sample? At the moment i’m assuming these are blocks created with one of these plugins and haven’t been made compatible with the model object as of yet.

Any additional information will be helpful. Thanks

no problem, I have to thank you for the help.

Attached is the zip file.

RM_Completely and RM_without Points = blocks to import

Hi Matthias -

That seems fine here:

Perhaps you could try disabling VisualARQ in the Plug-in Manager and restarting Rhino after that?
-wim

I tried that, but without success

Hi Matthias -

From that screenshot, it looks like the Tibidabo plug-in is still running. I’d disable that as well.
-wim

Sorry, I didn’t know that was part of it.
But unfortunately again without success

Lets see if there is a conflict with one of your 3rd Party grasshopper plugins.

Close Rhino and start a new instance, this time launch Grasshopper from the Rhino command line with GrasshopperLoadOneByOne and say no to 3rd party gh plugins.

Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you again.

On Kagaroo, I clicked no, but it still appears but is empty

Thanks,

Does this example work for you?

R8_Block_With_Points.gh (6.5 KB)
R8-File-With-Points.3dm (46.6 KB)

Your example worked, so I looked for differences and found a possible error.
In my block example there are objects with multiple layers, no matter if I put a point or a curve on another layer, it doesn’t work.

Thanks, very odd that we can’t repeat with your file.

I put the block contents on different layers, does this throw an error for you?

R8-File-With-Points.3dm (49.6 KB)

yes, that’s strange.

Your file doesn’t work again, but when I edit the block and put everything on one layer it works.
