Hello

I am trying to export a CSV spreadsheet from inside a TOPs network. I have provided a simplified network demonstrating the issue and my problem.

The actual project is quite complex but basically I am generating characters and each one has a randomly generated name that is imported from a list of names. Once these names are assigned to the generated geometry I would like to have a CSV file with the name and some other attributes written out to a CSV file.


I am new to TOPs but I have managed to make some progress. I can import the geometry into TOPS and it writes a CSV file but it seems to pick only one name and it writes that over and over, it does not get the name from each workitem.


The file attached is annotated and shows better the issue


It might be helpful for others as I can see this feature being quite useful


I appreciate any advice or insights

Upon closer inspection I think the issue is in the geometryimport node inside TOPS in the data extraction it pulls from the detail class but for some reason it fetches it once only...

I think I solved it!

In the GeometryImport I needed to check the "Evaluate with Work Item Attributes".

Thanks for all your help
