Solid Model to Tool Holder Error Message

[jonathanBUCVS]

Using the script linked from NYCCNC/George Roberts https://www.nyccnc.com/solid-model-to-tool-holder/

Getting the error message attached. Other 3d files from the same mfg work ok. Any suggestions?

Hi @jonathanBUCVS .

I gave it a try.

It seems to work in direct mode (no timeline).

It would be better to contact the developer directly.

@kandennti  Thank you, deleting the design history worked. Any idea why the design history was causing an error? I would never have thought to change that.

It was described in the document setByPlane Method.

Probably during development, you would have tried it with Step files, etc.
If you import a file that is not in native format, it will be in direct mode, so I guess I missed it.

I can't seem to get the script to work.  I have no idea what I'm doing, I followed the video by NYC-CNC.  Although probably not relevant, it appears that the script has been edited to include a pop up instructional screen and a file name input field.  The error message I receive is below.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
