Creating family instance with data-shapes UI

based on this topic: Create multiple family instances with different types

I was trying to create a wall that offsets a curve where the families will be placed on this case an IT cabinet (that’s a riser wall btw). I’ve created the script without UI and it’s working well with some input manipulation. I tried to make a UI just to streamline the workflow as I’m working on multiple files. But as you can see on the following images, the FamilyInstance.ByPoint node only makes a single element even though I can see the points that was created.

model_element
model_element594×728 1.44 KB

dyn_img
dyn_img1204×766 53.3 KB

also the dynamo graph:
xxxWallCreationFamilyInstance.dyn (156.5 KB)

(Don’t pay attention to the wall I’ve used - i know it is clashing on the cabinet :sweat_smile:)
