No properties available for object filtering on Instance Object

[Ray_Yong]

Hello,

Nice job on the new filter functions. It seems to not work with block instance, it doesn’t show any properties options on the model where it only have block instance. See image below:

Please tell me this is a bug. Being able to filter on definitionID is very useful to track my blocks.

Can someone have a look?

Cheers,
Ray

Quick update from me, I have a solution for this, it just needs some more testing. I’ll let you know when it’s live on Monday. Have a good weekend

Hey @Andrew_Wallace , currently i am unable to read properties of an instance with Speckle Properties component, when loaded in Grasshopper, not sure if it is relatable to this fix.

AFAIK only block instance is affected

This is the properties on the model viewer

instead, this is what i get in grasshopper, with the Speckle Properties component, I cant get any properties out of instance. Only Deconstruct component are able to extract out the properties from instance.

Can you also have a look into this?

Cheers,
Ray

Hi Ray,

I don’t think this is related to the filtering changes. I’ve passed this on to the relevant team, could you use deconstruct until we come up with another solution?

Thanks
Andrew

Hi @Ray_Yong , I can take a look at this. Would you be able to privately send me the grasshopper model with the blocks you are publishing?

p.s., on the Query Objects node, you can zoom in and add more outputs with the + button to expose type-based outputs with just block instances (instead of using the extra match text node)

Update - @bjoern just fixed both of these issues (missing properties on blocks, and the Query Objects node filters not updating values properly), and they will be available with the next release!

Hi @Ray_Yong,

We released a new version today which includes the above mentioned fixes. Grab it here. Thanks for bringing our attention to this!

Cheers,

I’m having a similar issue to @Ray_Yong.
I’m trying to retrieve the properties of a Speckle Block Instance that was once a family instance in Revit. However, when I try to do this using both the Speckle Block Instance and the Speckle.Core.Models.Instances.InstanceProxy, it shows that there are 0 properties.
I’ve updated the Speckle Connector to version 3.11. I’m using Revit 2023 and the latest version of Rhinoceros 8.
Here’s the link to the Speckle model on which the parameters and properties are displayed:
