When attempting to bake from Grasshopper to Rhino via the Pollination Rooms Component the following error message appears.

"Failed to bake: Unable to translate bytes [C9] at index 10 from specified code page to Unicode.

When I remove the list of strings from the name input on the HB Room from solid it will bake just wondering what the issue is with those strings?

Thank you,

Chris

Hi @cflynn - it’s most likely because you have non-ASCII characters in one of the names. @mingbo can confirm but I believe we have improved this issue already and it should be handled natively in the upcoming release.
