CAD import

hello everyone.
how can I join the curves after imported them from AutoCAD? if I want to extrude the elements, they must be in close loops to accept extrude them?

If you have curves you can use this node.

I used this one but after that when I want to extrude the columns by curves using (StructuralFraming.ColumnByCurve) node it gives me this warning message ( the end of the curve for a creating a column should be above the start of the curve) , so i think this is not proper node to join curves .

It´s hard to help without seeing your graph or knowing what you want to do exactly.

The node you mentioned needs the centerline of the column as input, considering your error you are not using a proper centerline.

mmm okay you are right i think this node can dealing with closed loops so i feed it with cross section of the column as curve .
Thank you

There are so many node you can´t know how they all work^^

But you get help when hovering over the inputs or opening the “help”.
So when getting an error you can try if there is some information there.

yes, it’s good to know how the node works so you can find the solution of the problem.
