Solid not recognized from first lunch

Developers

Hi guys,
I don’t understand why it doesn’t see the solid in first instance. it works after I disconnect the last node and connect it back.
Any idea?

create slab edge.dyn (12.1 KB)

the idea is that I create a foundation slab and I want to add slab edge to it later on

First guess: because in Revit speak the first run is creating both the slab and the slab edge as a single transaction. Try adding a Transaction End after the first Python node to see if that fixes it.

Thank you Jacob, it worked

there appears another problem:
when I try to use the obtained solid for extracting its edges, it does first time, and the second time it brings a empty list :frowning:
the solid is still provided but can’t extract its egdes

for i in solid:
edges = i.Edges

if True:
	solid = UnwrapElement(slab).get_Geometry(opt)

OUT = solid, edges

what am I doing wrong?
