Visualarq objects missing in blocks

Hi @Czaja I don’t understand what is the problem here. VisualARQ objects are recognized and listed inside blocks as blocks. Everything looks fine in the video.

No, VA Object is dumbed down to just regular block after this operation, it’s no longer parametric.

@Czaja I get it now. It happens when you create a new block from the “Create Unique block definition”, in the Properties panel. While we revise this, can you handle it by exploding the copied block instance and creating a new block definition from it?

Yes, I can use this workaround for some time. Thanks.

Another way to break it. Definitely a corner case, but I’m reporting it as a pursuit of robustness.

First I show using the example of a Cube (VA Furniture) and a cylinder that together form a Block, that the system works. Then using an example from another thread I show that a VA Element created from a Rhino Block and enclosed together with an instance of that Rhino Block inside a single block still means that we can break the VA Element and permanently convert it to a regular Block Instance. A bit confusing, but that’s how it is.
