Hello.
Plugin “Grashopper Component” does not support “Tekla Face” type. It throws errors when i am trying to use it as input in my grashopper script.
Does anyone know some workaround?
It is very handy when user is able to pick surface, and it is a very big time saver and grashopper script complexity saver when as input i have exact surface as i wanted
@sebastian.lindholm Are you developer of “Grashopper Component”? Are you planning to add handling of “tekla face” to Grashopper component?
Hi susi33,
The Tekla Face component is supported in the latest versions of the GH component and GH Tekla link - so try version 1.4 and 1.16 respectively. Need to update the documentation as well, thanks for pointing that out.
Cheers,

Hi!
Thanks for your reply.
So maybe i am doing something wrong because i am getting error when i try to use my script through Grashopper Component. When i am using it directly from Grashopper it works perfectly fine.
Please tak a look at the screenshot
I am using Tekla 2021, Grashopper component 1.4, Tekla Link 1.16 and Rhino 8.6

Please also notice that there is no polyline curve in Tekla when using Grashopper component.
Hi,
Indeed it seems the GH component is returning an open boundary polycurve from the face, whereas the GH link returns a closed one. The Area component in your definition requires a closed curve, so that’s why it fails from the GH component. It can be worked around by closing the boundary like this:
But I also fixed the issue in this update of the GH component that should now return a closed curve:
