Hi everyone, in the attached screenshot I’m trying to import a SAT file version 7 from SolidWorks to dynamo script and converting it to geometry by using (Geometry.ImportfromSAT) node, but there is nothing loaded and the node is empty all the tutorially on YouTube doesn’t seem to have this issue and I’m using exact nodes in the script but I can’t find what is the problem of this issue, **please advise**. ![Screenshot 2024-10-01 232128](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/5/7/572bd29e171d6aadc4bc4f951a3d2223555fae90.png) ---

Try using `File From Path` to convert the file path to a file before importing the geometry. ---

I tried to use this method already, but didn’t work either also having same issue. I think the problem is with the SAT file, but I can’t figure it out. ![Screenshot 2024-10-01 234125](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/a/b/ab6d58882aab410be7fb867f7857a80af67d49e1.jpeg) ---

If the issue is the SAT file then you’ll need to figure that out first. You can upload or link the file here for others to take a look at. ---

So, doesn’t appear to matter which version you’re in as 3.1 fails. Best to submit a bug to the GitHub at [Issues · DynamoDS/Dynamo · GitHub](https://github.com/DynamoDS/Dynamo/issues), or create a case via the accounts portal at [manage.autodesk.com](http://manage.autodesk.com). Attach the SAT and a dyn that imports it as an empty list in either direction. ---

I redid the SAT file using Autodesk FormIT. I used the plugin Mesh + UnMesh All to convert the meshes to objects. Then exported to SAT. I was able to bring this SAT file into dynamo as per the screenshot below.
