Hi,

1. to be sure: you have to run the “ **Springs.FamilyInstance.ByGeometry** ” node from the project environment.
2. You have to attach a “ **boolean** ” node (set to false) to the IsVoid input.
3. The name of the material should be of a material that is available inside the family template.
4. It is true the “ **Springs.FamilyInstance.ByGeometry** ” places an instance of every family you create at 0,0,0 of the project. You can delete them and place them manualy if you like.

PS. You can also use the OOTB “FamilyType.ByGeometry” node, it is almost identical.
