How to cast active view to 3d view in python DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument.ActiveView

again, if your error is this “expected View3D , got ViewPlan” the point is not casting the view ( as I told you ) but you are feeding a wrong view to the method. I know the ReferenceIntersector and everything run fine from my side. If you need a specific help, please post your code snipped at l…

But when u code in Python it will just be like elem.Location.Point or elem.Location.Curve. Whereas in C# it would be like how you did it ( (LocationCurve) elem.Location).Curve.…

yeah , i got it know that python make the casting for me , and i really was feeding a wrong view to the method . but here is a new problem , the element is a pipe , i got it’s location (so it curve based) , and i get the end point of this curve , i want to get the hitting point of the element above …
