Hi,  
I want cogo points to be numbered horizontally (at station 0+000, the number should be 1,2,3 for -5,0,5m offset and so on), could you give suggestion on this…please find the images below

Use Dynamo’s ability to process lists to reduce nodes and then use list levels to modify the process order. This can (sometimes) be done to remove a _Transpose_ node. I have also renumbered the points after creation as this was working more consistently for me

You could also use `List.GroupByKey` to group the COGO points by station, then `List.SortByKey` to sort them by offset.

Hi Jensen,

I tried implementing Mike’s process, however I couldn’t make it, so I am requesting the dwg & dyn file for the same, So that I can study it
