Convert point to point3d

Civil3D
1

Hi All,
I’m trying to get Start Z and End Z parameters values from a CAD line, then manipulate those Z values and feed them back again to the line parameters, I get stuck in the step of feeding back to the line as obviously those parameters data types are point3D not normal points.

Is there anyway to manipulate point3d, or even convert point to point3d ?

I picked a python code from the forum which converts from Point3D to DS point, and tried to play with it vise versa, but didn’t work.

Thanks in advance

Thanks so much @hosneyalaa , it seems working.

Just for my knowledge, I can see all what is done is redefining input from (points = [IN[0]] ) to ( IN[0] = [IN[0]] ), I appreciate if you could clarify how does that make that difference ?

Cheers,

You saved my day :slight_smile:
Thanks for the code @hosneyalaa
