Hi @JerryWu25,
I'm sorry you're having troubles with that command.
I cannot test it right now, but in the meantime you could try to detect which element gives you troubles by adding the following before the line 243 of the script (ALT+click on the button to open the script folder)

print("Element", eltid, "Tagged local element Ids", elt.GetTaggedLocalElementIds())

In the output windows you should see a list of Element ......, the last one (but it might as well be the first) before the error is the one that gives you trouble.

If the end of the line is gibberish, try to use list(elt.GetTaggedLocalElementIds()) instead to make it a python list that should be printed more nicely.

Once you have the incriminating element Id, it will be easier to troubleshoot and reproduce the issue

Hi @sanzoghenzo , thanks for the hint, for some reason that "troublemaker" somehow disappeared this morning, we might accidentally fixed it, I will definitely try your tips if I see it again and I will reopen another case.

Thanks again!
