Spry requires a unique path for every leaf node, or bottom level record. As such when importing into a Spry datatable you may encounter an error warning of a node having had its values set previously.
When our import is taking place via attributed solids we have the option to use Spry Design to identify these duplicates via the Filter functionality available from the Filter pop out menu on the right side of the screen
One of the default columns of the filter results holds a count of how many elements match across our selected attributes. We can use this to identify duplicates using settings like the below
- Select the layer holding the import solids
- Selet the attributes that correspond to the Spry Data Tables Levels + the material attributes if one is being used (Material attributes are an optional way to determine which specific fields within a record to write to. For example we could use one to write a waste solid with waste attributes and a coal solid with coal attributes to different fields within the same record)
- Apply the filter
- Unique Level Name + Material combinations will have a count of 1
- We can use Filtering on the Count column to limit the results to only elements with a count greater than 1
- These elements are likely to result in data overwrites or missed data on import
