Hi,
I am trying to use the Grasshopper component in Tekla (so run my script directly in Tekla) but it does not seems to work. To be precise, the script loads correctly, and I see all my sliders, panel and other inputs appear correctly, but Tekla never prompt me to select or draw objects in tekla. So basically the script never run because it does not get the tekla inputs. I tried with my own scripts and with the example scripts for the tekla component, none seems to do anything.
I have Rhino 8 installed, so I used the WIP version 1.16 for tekla 22 that I found in this post Grasshopper (Rhino 7) Inside Tekla (Version 2021 SP9) error - #3 by sebastian.lindholm
With it, my script work otherwise well from Rhino 7 (I haven’t tried with Rhino 8 as I am using some GH plugins that do not work in Rhino 8).
Thanks for your help!
Hi Maureen,
Since you have not shared your script I can only assume that you have not added any Tekla model inputs in the script?
See further instructions here: Grasshopper Component | Tekla User Assistance
Ok, Not as simple a mistake ( I had tested with several of those inputs and the TwinProfil.gh test file from the demo video). But the answer is quite simple nevertheless: It seems that to trigger a run of the script, after opening the GH component, loading your script, setting up the inputs from the component windows, I need to DOUBLE CLICK ON THE GH COMPONENT again. For the dummies like me, I made a visual walk through ^^
Watching the demo video again, he does says that he activates the component for insertion, but i did not understand what that meant, as other components in tekla that I used usually activate directly
Hmm that’s very curious indeed!
It should be the other way around, similar to how other components work (open dialog with double-click, activate/insert with single click). Not sure what’s making your instance behave backwards, but good to know this can be a possibility 
Cheers,
