Show grasshopper model in sofistik

SOFiSTiK

Hi
I am very new to working with Rhino/Grasshopper and Sofistik. I have generated a model in Grasshopper/Rhino, however every time I export it into Sofistik (with the sofistik/rhino interface tool) I get the following error (see below)
May anyone tell me what I am doing wrong…?
Thank you!

Hello Lea

Did you set the element properties of your system? You have to assign a SOFiSTiK structural element to the Rhino area.

In some cases the properties dialogue is not visible within Rhino, but you can activate it in the following tab.

Rhino > SOFiSTiK > Structural Properties

Further informations and examples can be found within the Rhino manual on our website.

www.sofistik.com > Infocenter - Overview > Documentation - Rhinoceros Interface
