CT wall cannot find Rhino and WallPopulatorConfigSet

[moryde]

I have a problem with the wall component. Maybe the output of just the CTwall component is correct, but when I try to import the WallPopulatorConfigSet first of all the WallPopulatorConfigSet does not work out of the box, and when I add the ‘Import Rhino’ statement its better. When I look at the output from this component it seems like all the data is not there? And when I input it to the wall component it does not work as expected.

Should this example not work or am I missing something?

Thanks for the great work on this extensive framework, it seems very very nice!

Hi @moryde

Sorry for the long wait. from the screenshot it’s not obvious that something is wrong, the string representation of the WallPopulatorConfigurationSet is likely just not correct.

To check if the wall populator works you’d need to feed the Wall into a CT Model component as a Container. If everything goes well, the wall populator would then create the timber frame and studs for that wall. Could you give that a try?

A word of warning though: the wall populator is in very active development and is changing by the day. The released 1.x.x plugin is LTS where we only fix bugs and the new SlabPopulator(as it is called now) will be released as part of the next major release (2.0.0) sometime in the near future.

Please let me know how that works for you.

Best regards,

Chen

As I write the first problem is that the ‘WallPopulatorConfigSet’ by itself does not include Rhino and give the following message:

I tried what you described but I really can’t get beyond putting the ‘WallPopulatorConfigSet’ on the canvas as it fails. I will have to wait until version 2.0.0 I guess

But I am looking very much forward to this update. It seems like very impressive work you have done here

I can only put one media in a post so here is the other screenshot I intended to include.

[chenkasirer]

could you try to connect Wall into the model component’s Containers input instead of Elements?

[moryde]

Yes I can do that =)
