I am trying to use hou.SopVerbs to problematically create geometry.
I have had success using Box, but am now struggling to use Add, in particular multi-parms.

I have read in the docs that;
Multiparms are represented as a sub list of dictionaries.

Here is what I have so far;
geo = hou.pwd().geometry()
verbs = hou.sopNodeTypeCategory().nodeVerbs()

buffer = hou.Geometry()

add_verb = verbs["add"]
add_verb.setParms({"points": [{"pt":(0,1,2)}, {"pt":(4,5,6)}] })
add_verb.execute(buffer, [])

geo.merge(buffer)

The error I am seeing, is that pt is not a parameter for the add verb, however, that is the name of the multi-parm when moused over.

Is my syntax wrong for a multi-parm? I am trying to pass list of dicts, each passing a tuple for pt.

try this:
geo = hou.pwd().geometry()
verbs = hou.sopNodeTypeCategory().nodeVerbs()

buffer = hou.Geometry()

add_verb = verbs["add"]
add_verb.setParms({"points": ({"usept#": 1, "pt#": (0,1,2)}, {"usept#": 1, "pt#": (4,5,6)})})
add_verb.execute(buffer, [])

geo.merge(buffer)

Brilliant! Thank you Tomas.
