Add block to tree points with varying scales

I’ve followed several examples of adding blocks to points. I’m seeing the objects in Dynamo, yet am unable to see them in Civil3D. The additional challenge is getting them to scale per spreadsheet (root zone diameter). I understand I need a vector block and am unsure which one or how to accomplish that.

Hoover over the scaleFactors inout; it should tell you the expected data type. I believe it’s a double, with the default being 1.

Thank you! I’ve added a node String.ToNumber between Radius/Item and ScaleFactor at BlockReference.Create. I’ve disconnected Scale to test this. The objects show in Dynamo yet not in C3D. I don’t understand what I’m missing. Thank you!

Any node which is light grey is in a function state, meaning it needs a provided input somewhere. Look at the node which creates the block instances and provide the necessary inputs.

@jacob.small Thank you!!
As you can tell I’m a noob. We were able to accomplish this with your guidance.
Here is the final-
