How to select nodes from model?

Grasshopper Karamba3D

I´m having problems providing valid point supports (or forces) to the Assemble Model module. I generated a beams structure from a simple unit cell using a combination of array transformations (ArrPolar and ArrLinear). Since the unit cell contains several members, I repeated some array transformation using some initial points to regenerate just the desired support points and feed Supp module. Unfortunately, when I provide such points to Supp it dumps the following error:

  1. Solution exception:Could not find node at (0.551248553449711/-2.94891929905171/0) where support number 0 is attached.

It seems that I have to select the nodes exactly from the model I´m trying to feed Assemble Model module, but I don´t know how. Would you help me? Thanks!

Hi @Vigardo,

are you able to share your definition as it is difficult to see where the issue lies.

Hi Matthew, thank you very much for your rapid response! This is the file: TowerOpt.gh (39.3 KB)

But I’ve found this YouTube video where nodes are selected with Cull and Smaller objects. I’ll try as soon as possible.

Hi Matthew, I finally fixed the problem. I just had to “Flatten” the Elem output in LineToBeam module. It seems that Karamba automatically detects the nodes to generate supports and forces. Thank you anyways!

Hi @Vigardo, thats good to hear
