Greetings!

I’m trying to create dynamo script to set detail item on every wall in plan. Get out curves from walls and material name, im trying to place my prepared detail item. But in the end i have error and don’t know what to do.  
There is screenshot in attachment to understand the logic.

Thank you!

I guees the latest is 2.5, is that detailcomponent.by curve from clockwork ? the latest there should be 2.6

if you want you could share the linebased detail family and we can test

Yes, Clockwork 2.6  
IronPython 2.5

just tried on lines as in your example and its not work also.  
So problem not in curves, not in family type  
Not in view…  
But why?

Extract the contents of the detail component creation node and test them in your graph. The Python is almost certainly throwing an error but we can’t see it as it’s built in such a way as to prevent exposing the warning and just return null.

Focus on one wall in one view with one family type for now.

You need to reveiw the warnings by extracting the contents of the custom node.

1. Double click on the DetailComponent.ByCurve node to edit the custom node.
2. Select everything (ctrl+a).
3. Copy the selection (ctrl+c).
4. Switch back to your graph.
5. Paste in the contents.
6. Wire your Line, FamilyType, and View inputs into the pasted content.
7. Address the warnings which will be surfaced in the string of nodes.
