@IgorTatarnikov when I run it on the data without a soma, I get:

morphio._morphio.MissingParentError:
Sample id: 1 refers to non-existant parent ID: 0

Am I missing something?

[IgorTatarnikov]

Hmm, that's odd. Which swc file are you using?

[adamltyson]

wl3_local_registered.swc from the image.sc issue. Running it with the latest brainrender & this branch of morphapi:

from brainrender import Scene
from brainrender.actors import Neuron

scene = Scene()
scene.add(Neuron('wl3_local_registered.swc'))
scene.render()

[IgorTatarnikov]

I'm able to run it with the same file. I'll try downloading the file again and running it in a fresh environment.

[IgorTatarnikov]

I can't seem to replicate it, everything runs smoothly in a fresh environment.

[adamltyson]

Ok finally after starting from scratch with everything, it works fine. No idea what's going on with my system.

[adamltyson]

Will release and report back on image.sc.
