Orchid install multiple definitions

vanman · January 19, 2022, 11:10pm

Hi, I installed orchid but now its giving multiple definitions in python into some nodes and messing up scripts. This one is clockworks character.fromnumber. Is there a way to resolve this?

john_pierson · January 19, 2022, 11:16pm

The main way to resolve this is to rename the code in the codeblock (that isn’t python) to the full qualified namespace.

So in your case,
Math.Floor((n-1)/26)

would become
DSCore.Math.Floor((n-1)/26)

but I did think this was fixed previously so it is a bit odd for it too show back up.

bug

I noticed this when wanting to create points. Autocomplete behaviour before inst…alling Rhynamo: ![ac1](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/3014437/5136488/3b24e792-7129-11e4-9b2d-c2ffe426743f.PNG) And after: ![ac2](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/3014437/5136490/3b27c9a8-7129-11e4-936a-9416c6a0375a.PNG) So `Point` now needs to be called as `Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry.Point`. Which is not good at all because it means existing scripts won't execute: ![acwarning](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/3014437/5136489/3b261f4a-7129-11e4-8357-501d094ddbad.PNG) I find it odd (and actually a bit disconcerting) that third party DLLs can have that kind of effect on Dynamo core functionality.

for further help, you are going to have to ask the Orchid package author as he can make changes to remedy this for end-users (FYI, he most likely will not.).

The last time I mentioned anything about this package this is what happened to me.

but yeah, it is probably going to be up to you to reconfigure a ton of codeblocks.

Also, a way that other package authors have fixed this has been to use different namespace naming. That is why you see plural values in Rhythm.

johnpierson/RhythmForDynamo/blob/871531a5c8855de22967da4ecd5b7012ec6393ee/src/Rhythm/Revit/Application/Document.cs#L23

    
      
          using Rhythm.Utilities;
          using Curve = Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry.Curve;
          using GlobalParameter = Autodesk.Revit.DB.GlobalParameter;
          
          
namespace Rhythm.Revit.Application
          {
          
          
    /// <summary>
              /// Wrapper class for document nodes.
              /// </summary>
              public class Documents
              {
                  private Documents()
                  { }
          
          
        /// <summary>
                  /// This node will copy the given elements from the given linked document into the active document.
                  /// </summary>
                  /// <param name="sourceDocument">The background opened document object, (preferably this is the title as obtained with Applications.OpenDocumentFile from Rhythm).</param>
                  /// <param name="sourceInstance">The instance of the link to copy from.</param>
                  /// <param name="elements">The elements to copy.</param>

          {

                  {

Thank you John. I will just not deploy orchid to everyone else’s computer to save a lot of hassle

Michael_Kirschner2 · January 21, 2022, 4:26pm

I’m not sure this will work, but in the .dyn there is also an entry called namespace resolver, it should map short name spaces to full ones… if you have tons of namespaces to remap you might try editing that entry as an experiment…

backup your graph first

You can always do a find and replace as well in a text editor.
