CivilConnection Station

[Potato]

I’m trying to understand “Station” input for Mass.ByShapesCreaseStations

When I try using it on a test Civil 3D file, i placed 0,5 as doubles into Stations

But the created element is not 5meter long as I expect it to be

Dynamo Bridge C3D Test.dwg (972.9 KB)
CivilConnectionTrial 2.dyn (47.5 KB)

What did I do wrong here?

Edit:

Checking to see if the two station is 5 meter apart in Civil3D

Thanks!!

Could it have to do with where the corridor has drawn a section (basically the frequency)?

[Potato]

How would the frequency affect this?
Should I increase or decrease the frequency?

[HenrikJ]

Say that you have a section drawn at 0+000 and one at ~0+003.3 and then the next at ~0+010 or something. Then maybe the solids extracted only equate to the area between the first to sections. You could try to increase the frequency to see if that is indeed the issue.

I tried increasing and decreasing the frequency
but when I want it to be from 0 to 5meter
It still doesn’t come back with a 5 meter Revit Element

Edit:
Apparently it creates an element to the nearest station listed in AppliedSubassemblyShape.Station

What can I do to get it to be at exactly 5 meter instead?

What you’re currently pulling is just a single solid between the corridor section intervals, which is not an even number, as shown in your AppliedSubassemblyShape.Station node output.

You’ll have to extract the solids before/after the location you’re looking at and trim those down to get the total length you’re after.

[HenrikJ]

You can try adding a section in the Corridor to exactly 0+005 or just before.

Exactly the solution

Thanks!! @HenrikJ
