Hi Everyone! I am working with the new nodes for corridors: Creating a corridor works like a charm (see attached). But now i want to assign offset targets. Has someone figured out the concept behind the targets? Corridor Create.dyn (35.6 KB)

Hooray! Can’t wait to try out the property set nodes

HI, I tried to get Parameter name but it return numbers insted.

Any comments.

[Paolo_Emilio_Serra1]

@davila.vanegas that’s what the API returns for stock subassemblies

I use the Chinese version of civil 3D 2021. Why did it go wrong?

[Paolo_Emilio_Serra1]

Install Civil 3D 2021.1

I have Civil3DToolkit 1.1.16 installed and use the node “Pipe.SetInverts” for trying to change the end invert for some objects. Sometime it works and the next time it’s not working. I tried to run the script several times without luck. One time I removed the input from the node and than reconnected them, then it was working. Is that a bug?

[KirkWM]

fyi, if you think there is a bug you’ll need to attach the log file and likely more information like a screen shot or the script itself.

[ulrik.wittenkamp]

I have included the script in this post. As I wrote previous, the node “Pipe.SetInvert” does nothing with the objects in Civil 3D but if I remove the endInvert connection and reconnect it imediately everything works as supposed. Very strange.

@ulrik.wittenkamp without testing myself, I think you’ve created a race condition by using the Pipe.SetEndPoint and Pipe.SetInverts nodes in parallel branches. If you want to keep it this way, then you’d need to setup a gate so that the operation of setting the inverts happens after setting the end point. Another option would be to only use the Pipe.SetEndPoint node, which also sets the elevation if you provide a 3D point.

[ulrik.wittenkamp]

Thank you mzjensen!!! My script now works perfect!

Lesson learned: when someone says “bug” we need to include the person seating between the keyboard and the chair that is writing the post in the problem.
By default, I’m included in past, present and future issues with the Toolkit but please, DON’T CALL BUGS things you don’t understand. Say something like “I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong” (which is still true even if there is a bug!) and ATTACH THE LOG FILES.

I Dont understand what i am doing wrong with the corridor selection node.

was trying to calculate slope between corridor featureline but when changed subassembly cross slope and rerun the code the values are not updated. Noticed that values are not updated if i use selection node from toolkit but updates when the corridor is selected from dynamo civil 3d nodes.

cant see anything in logfile too. Autodesk_Civil3DToolkit.log.txt (211 Bytes)

[Paolo_Emilio_Serra1]

did you try to delete and recreate the drop down? The issue is that the AutoCAD Drop Down base node I’ve used does not implement all the necessary logic to observe changes in the document like in the Revit counterpart. The easy “fix” is to extract the name of the Corridor from the DropDown and Select the Corridor By Name.

[shahid.shaikh_C3D]

Didnt tried with delete but changed the dropdown and checked it didnt worked. So at the moment using select corridor by name node.

Howdy all… I am curious if there is a node that will allow for the creation of a new ‘Site’ within Civil3D. With the 1.1.14 tools… Civil3DToolkit, LandDevelopment, Site… I can GetSites but I am not sure how to create a new Site. Help is appreciated.
