I was creating a cell model and came across an error in the following code:

for sec in self.hobj.soma:
n3d = int(h.n3d()) # get number of n3d points in each section
r3d = np.zeros((3, n3d)) # to hold locations of 3D morphology for the current section
n3dsoma += n3d
for i in range(n3d):
r3dsoma[0] += h.x3d(i, sec=sec)

where the h.x3d(i, sec=sec) goes out of bounds. This was caused by the h.n3d() not accessing the correct section. When no sec is provided, NEURON uses a default section, and in this case, it was incorrect. Therefore, I went through bmtk and filled in sec=sec for these situations. This may not be necessary in all cases, but I think this is a situation where it is better to be safe than sorry.
