I am having some problems with creating groups when using the sweep node. I am trying to create a group each time the cross-section is copied to the backbone using the $PT local var.

For example, group name would be: entity_$PT

See attached file.
Cheers

hi ,

reading help , it says :

" .. . A separate group is created for each backbone by appending a number to the group name. .. "

so it is not per instance , but per path .
