Access the properties of CAD blocks

Any help from colleagues will be greatly appreciated. I’ve already tried a few things, with us and Python, but I wasn’t successful, because I don’t even know if it’s actually possible.
" Z" of the blocks to place these families in the z positions according to what is stated in the block reference. So you don’t need to create a family with a z position for each situation. It is possible? Can I read this information and pass it to revit with dynamo?

Thank you for the information and help, but unfortunately I was unable to do so, I tried using this link and others linked to it, but without success. I found it quite confusing.
@RMohareb Can you help me?

Thank you for the response and help. But I had already tried it this way. But the following error occurs; .ctor operation failed. Operation not available.
and also the error;
Cad_Geometry operation failed.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Errors that I have no idea what they could be.

Oh yes, I don’t use civil 3d, I have no knowledge of it. I thought I could only do it through revit and dynamo. What a shame. Thanks
