Invalid object inputs for Tekla Assembly component in Grasshopper

Grasshopper Tekla

Hi Everyone. (@sebastian.lindholm :slight_smile: )I am trying to create assemblies using GH component, but I am getting this error message : “1. Objects param: Input object of type Seam could not be converted to IAssemblable”

My goal is to create 1 assembly per frame, so each frame has 2 columns, 6 horizontal bracings, 5 diagonals bracings and 2 baseplates. All braces and baseplates are Tekla components with their bolts. If I manually do it in Tekla, it works fine. But it looks like GH Tekla Live link does not like Seam components, detail components or bolt arrays as input for objects in an assembly.

I also tried to decompose the component and use its created objects as input, but this approach throws an error “1. Objects param: Input object of type Bolt Array could not be converted to IAssemblable”.

Is this a GH limitation or am I missing something? Can you tell me what types of objects are allowed for inputs in GH assembly component? or which one are not? I am using Rhino 8 with Tekla 2024.

Thanks.

Nothing is missing, it all works correctly. Filter out objects that can form an assembly and it will be fine. Bolts are associated with parts and will become a part of the assembly that way.

Beams, Columns, Plates etc should be joined into an assembly. Also note that the first object in each list will become the main part of the assembly so make sure you know which is the first object in each list, alternately push that into the Main Part input.

Have fun!

Thanks Oskar, filtering out all bolts and Boolean parts work perfectly!. I would have never guess that, thank you so much for you help.
