I am trying to use the AMR Sheet Set Manager add-on package to add layouts from the current document into an existing SSM, but I am getting a null value at the end of this:
Thoughts?
First thing that sticks out to me is to try inserting a flatten after your SubSet.BySheetSetIndex and plug the output of the flatten node into your Sheet.Import node. The second thing would be looking at modifying the lacing to longest of that node since you have multiple layout names for one subset and file name.
Thanks for trying that out!
Last thing I would check is that the object type of the file name input matches what you’re feeding it.
Not sure if you are aware of this, it looks like it’s an OOTB node and so you can right click on the node and select “Help” and a side panel will appear, if it’s an OOTB Dynamo node, it might include an image of what inputs it’s looking for with the object types.
Yeah I tried that. It is from an add-on package called Sheet Set Manager and it just says it wants strings for the filename and layoutName inputs.
I was able to get it to work now. I had to get out of the file file and path it to an external document. Using the Camber package in conjunction with the Sheet Set Manager package I was able to get the layouts added to the SSM.
I was really hoping I could make this work at the end of my other graph where I create layouts/viewports and then I could add the newly created layouts to the existing SSM, but that could be trouble for me. Open to feedback/ideas on how I could get this to work in my other layout creation Dynamo graph.
Some nodes does not work the way we expect when there’s a name to be set and the name has been created previously. I would say (blindly), if there’s a list with names that you are trying to overwritte to a subset, delete all the created names then execute.
Understood, the SSM is already created, but the sheets themselves haven’t been linked to the SSM yet.
