issues when updating HB objects (request for surface names and North direction)

I recently explored the automated HB objects update feature, and when some of the objects were updated, there were errors due to a need to define surface names, and well as north direction.

There appears to be no place to name the surface on the HB object however.

Any suggestions here? (before / after) Screen shots attached

Hi Octagon26,

As I just mentioned in another comment. When I developed the update component I was assuming only developers would use it. It has a couple of limitation, and what you are posting here is one of them.

The current version of update components would fail if the number of inputs or outputs of a component is changed (which is the case here). Unfortunately for now you need to replace them manually from the tab. I will try to write a better component soon to address these limitations.
