Hi all. I want to use Powercrust and PoissonReconstruction in Python. The version of VTK I am using is 9.0.3. I configured VTK\_MODULE\_ENABLE\_VTK\_PoissonReconstruction and VTK\_MODULE\_ENABLE\_VTK\_Powercrust to WANT in CMake, set up the Python-related values, and generated Powercrust.cp38-win\_amd64.pyd and PoissonReconstruction.cp38-win\_amd64.pyd in Visual Studio. However, when I used print(dir()) to check, I found that there were no callable methods. I checked the relevant Python wrapper files and they seem incomplete? How can I achieve my goal?Thanks for your help.

For some reason, the `CMakeLists.txt` wasn’t set up for wrapping.

Edit `Remote/Powercrust/CMakeLists.txt` and modify `vtk_module_add_module()` as follows:

```plaintext
  vtk_module_add_module(VTK::Powercrust
    SOURCES vtkPowerCrustSurfaceReconstruction.cxx
    HEADERS vtkPowerCrustSurfaceReconstruction.h
    )

```

The `HEADERS` was missing, and without `HEADERS` (or, alternatively, `CLASSES`), the wrappers cannot be generated.
