I'm getting the error: "number of fins in the transistor must be less than height" in the following netlist:

.subckt erroramp Vout Vdd GND Vp Vn Ibias
M2 net1 Vn net3 GND nmos_hvt w=4830e-9 l=500e-9 nf=2 m=4
M3 net2 Vp net3 GND nmos_hvt w=4830e-9 l=500e-9 nf=2 m=4

Initially I had nf=1 but since nf had to be even I increased it to 2, but now I cannot get past this error because I honestly don't understand what it means.

I am having the same issue, did you solve it?

It's been a while since the last time that I used align, but I think it was that some transistors were too wide.
I had an old note about the restrictions I have seen, so first, try a design with every transistor a multiple of the width pitch (210), a pair number of fins, and a width below the width pitch * 12 (2520).

Thank you. That has solved the problem.
Did you incur any other issues? For example, I am having an issue with transistor dimensions as described in issue #12.
