There's no particular reason to create them ahead of the file load. With reordered operations, the file loaders and/or GeomTopoTool can set whatever default values they prefer without confusing DagMC. </div><div><br></div><div>This won't fix the problem of loading old mesh files that lack a default value for this tag. Once such a file has been loaded, GeomTopoTool will not work as expected, unless Iulian carries out Jason's solution number 1.
