Create Block References

Once you have the block you’ll be able to create objects in it as if it were new.

I used ‘Block.ByName’ and created the blocks. The problem is that I can’t create objects inside them. Your second option is exactly what I want: just move the objects into the created block. I found a topic where you used a node that transforms geometry into blocks, and it seems to be exactly what I need, but it looks like this node is no longer available.

Create block reference from object but don't want inserted, just created for use later

If 2025 isn’t an option, you can actually use Civil3D toolkit’s BlockReferenceExtension class to create a block reference from geometry (I think it is BlockReferenceExtensions.BlockReferenceByGeometry but don’t recall), then query the block from the block reference, and use a WaitFor method (in a code block type [pass, wait][0];) where pass is the block reference and wait is the block, then delete the block reference with Object.Delete.
