I’m basically trying to do what the measure command does when you place blocks around a polyline and it prompts you to align objects to the polyline direction. I can create points and blocks but for ‘rotationDegrees’ I would either need each point to evaluate the direction that the polyline is trave…

Hi Looking at this [image] Get rotation or direction from selected object (polyline) Civil3D Thanks guys, I learn a lot this week. I was able to apply the rotation from KirkWM suggestion. I added the Curve.CoordinateSystemAtParamter with the 1 parameter… when I isolate …

Would it be easier to turn the polyline into an alignment? I’m having a hard time sorting out what I need to do for this compared to the 2 posts you linked to me. MJS-Divide.dyn (33.9 KB)

Hi @Matthew.Schwartz Turning the polyline into an alignment is another way to go about it but the concept behind both ways will be the same. I think the best way to figure out the rotation is using a coordinate system along the polyline (can also use a coordinate along an alignment as well). Coordi…

Got it to work! Wanted to share my results with anyone that might be passing through. Thank you @hosneyalaa and @omar.g for the assistance! [MJS-Measure_2023-02-17_10-23-34]
