Not sure if the node’s gonna get updated but instead I’m using a Python node to prompt the pick point.
Used Paolo’s script provided in here and modified to add pop-up message : Create Point from Cursor Click in Civil3D Model Space - #3 by Paolo_Emilio_Serra1

This method worked better for me since I’m using pop-ups for user inputs instead of Dynamo player.

#Modified from Paolo's script.
