So I have come up with a process to convert .step files received from customers into nested .RFAs in a mother family. I use GH/Rhino to create separate component families for all the blocks (parts). Then I import them into a mother family using Dynamo - basically a load all RFAs from path.
I gave this my best go but I am running into problems with my data branching when writing the RFAs to disk and getting duplicates.
My create form family node is showing each data branch as having 2 objects in them which is what I want, but when the families are generated it is actually creating a family for each line (image)
There are several posts relating to this similar problem, but the helpful ones use elefront and I am unable to reproduce the results.
Thank you!
