Hello,

 

I am getting this error: #LumApiError: 'no import objects are currently selected' when trying to import a text file as a surface using "#importsurface" command in #FDTD.

I can #import the #surface using the GUI but when I try to use #Python, this error pops up in the terminal. 

 

Any as to what is causing this error woudl be appreciated as I did not find anything online.

Apparently, before importing a surface, you have to make an import object by fdtd.addimport()
I accidentally came across this webpage: https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034404154-addimport
