Civil 3D - Select an Assembly

[bourke_d]

Hi, Is there a node that allows the user to select from assemblies present in a file, similar to how you might select corridors, surfaces and alignments?

Hi

Please tell me how to use the Assembly.AddSubAssembly node

Hi, see the images below : [image] [image] [image]

[bourke_d]

@hosneyalaa thank you for the reply but I need to be able to select the finished assembly from a list of assemblies not subassemblies. I can type the name in as an input (see image) but a drop down like what is available for other elements would work better.

There is no dropdown node for assemblies

[bourke_d]

@david_licona I was starting to think that. thank you for confirming.

HI @bourke_d

From the attached example of @Anton_Huizinga

C# Dropdown

“Next week” was a bit optimistic but finally I was able to do some testing. And I got result. There are two things you should know: It seems not possible to combine UI and Zero Touch nodes in one DLL so you need to use a seperate Solution to build dropdown nodes. It only works if the DLL is loaded via a package, not with the ‘import library’ function. You can download a sample Visual Studio Solution below (without de compiled DLL file). Two classes are available. One to create a dropdo…

try this
After put the attached file in this path

@hosneyalaa thank you I tried that, and it worked on the first pass but if I run the script again a second output appears and causes an issue:

[hosneyalaa]

my language is not good
what’s the problem
Why do you appear? 2 out

[bourke_d]

@hosneyalaa

• I run the script fine it works
• I close the script
• open it again
• there are now 2 outputs.
  hopefully this video will explain the issue better:
  

Perhaps I am missing somethig.

You need to add a JSON constructor.

UI Node Extra Output Ports

I’ve created some dropdown nodes that inherit from DSDropDownBase and the issue I’m having is that an extra output port is created every time the graph is saved and reopened. Also after saving and reopening, an exception is thrown saying that “an element with the same key but different value already exists.” Any ideas? [Home_2021-08-16_08-22-25] While this is admittedly a pretty cool trick I’ve stumbled upon (who doesn’t want a node that evolves over time?), it’s not what I was going for …

[hosneyalaa]

Hi @bourke_d
Thanks @mzjensen
The problem did not appear for me
Tomorrow I will add a suggestion @mzjensen
It might work fine for @bourke_d

[hosneyalaa]

delet Assembly file
and
test this

Assemblies

[bourke_d]

Still having the same issue.

[dm_salamania]

Hi Hosneyalaa
Hope your okay.
I jsut want to let you know that the assembly file is not available anymore on MediaFilre. It is possible to you to share it here again?

Thank you so much

[hosneyalaa]

Set style for CoGo Points or CoGo Point Group

hi @patrick.ericson can you try this [sty]

[dm_salamania]

Thank you

Big help

[dm_salamania]

@hosneyalaa Is there a reason why the file is not showing even after adding it?

[hosneyalaa]

I didn’t understand what the problem was
And what you want to do
This image is for creation package

[dm_salamania]

I want to create a package locally like what @Anton_Huizinga did here.

Adding it directly to library i got this error.

[hosneyalaa]

I am sorry, l AM not know a reason
But you can look at link
