Is possible add multilayer geometry in Custom System?

by Juan Pablo Argentina

Apr 24, 2022

Hi Santiago, 

I have problem using CUSTOM SYSTEM PANEL. Im trying to add some differents geometries and divide then in differents layers, but all the elements always appear together in the _P_CustomGeo layer.

For example, I add one image of two types of panels that i need to add geometry with different materials.

 is it possible?

Thank you so much  for your help!.

    Hi Juan Pablo,

    Actually you can add custom layer names to the input geometry. I'm glad you brought this up since I don't think I've ever documented this. It is done using a simple python component that goes between the breps that you want to add a custom layer name and the Custom Geometry component. See below:

    Here is the gh file:  AddLayerNameToBreps.gh
