I’m triying to add label groups to a certain profile from a given Label Set already created. I’ve come so far, getting the correct Label Set and iterating each item for creating a new one (i’ve searched on forums and that seems the way to do this).  
For development purposes only, the code below looks for a certain profile view and a specific profile to apply this labels. The idea is to work on something more general once i get the code working.  
The main problem: I cant get the ProfileLineLabelGroup.Create() method to work and i don’t understand why.  
Here’s a forum topic i’ve come across and found useful: [Add Profile Label Set To Profile](https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-customization/add-profile-label-set-to-profile/td-p/12668989)

Hope anybody can help me. Thank you!

I understand that line  
label\_id = labelItem.get\_LabelStyleId()  
Does it work for you? Must be

label\_id = labelItem.LabelStyleId()

Can you attached example drawing
