Can anyone help me why this doesn’t work?  
I have three points with all xyz coordinates and want to insert an addapted family.

I can’t insert the addapted family because of the given error:  
_“Warning: AdaptiveComponent.ByPoints operation failed. The arguments have issues”_

 ![addapt%20problem](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/b/4/b4425847f99095b035ecf7f40576081ce13baef3.png)

I have tried to place the addapted family in the “Revit Adaptive component Placement” sample of Dynamo and it works over there.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I think because you have a three lists with 1 Point each, instead 1 list with 3 points.

Hi @sabakhti,

The node is expecting a list of nested lists, so this might be why you are getting an error.

If you share your graph and the AC, trouble shooting will be much easier. Just a tip 🙂

Wrap the list of points into another list. Read the tooltip on the points inout for more info.
