Create Corridors from FeatureLines

Hi!
Dear experts!

Please tell how i can create a corridor from a feature lines, without using a alignment and profile.

I assume that there is no built-in node for this feature?

Maybe this can be done using the API and Python Script?

Thanks!

No-one has an idea about this issue how to create corridor from a feature line by using Dynamo?

No, it isn’t possible to do this through Dynamo because the Civil 3D API doesn’t provide any way to do it. The only way to accomplish it is to first create an alignment and profile from the feature line and then create the corridor with a standard alignment/profile baseline.

Hello,
now it’s possible.

So, Can I create a corridor from a featue lines by Dynamo now?

No

ok, thanks!

Something changed with create corridor from a featurelines by Dynamo i new version Civl 2024.2??

New in 2024.2

  • Added support to create corridors based on feature lines by the API.
    • CorridorCollection.Add(String corridorName, String baselineName, ObjectId featurelineId). This creates a corridor with a given corridor name, baseline name, and feature line.
    • CorridorCollection.Add(String corridorName, String baselineName, ObjectId featurelineId, String baselineRegionName, ObjectId assemblyId). This creates a corridor with a given corridor name, baseline name, feature line, baseline region name, and assembly.
    • BaselineCollection.Add(String baselineName, ObjectId feturelineId). This creates a baseline with a given baseline name and feature line.
    • Baseline.SetFeatureLine(ObjectId featureLineId). This sets a baseline as feature line-based.
    • OffsetBaseline.SetFeatureLine(ObjectId horizontalFeatureLineId, ObjectId verticalFeatureLineId). This sets the offset baseline as feature line-based.
    • OffsetBaseline.FeatureLineIdVertical(). This gets the feature line object ID of an offset vertical baseline.

Thx for this … it works very well : )
The feature lines in this example provided paths for walls, and … the corridors built the walls …

hello everyone
I’m having a problem creating a CORRIDOR using DYNAMO, I don’t know what’s wrong with it.
anyone can help me with it?

Please create a new topic though this is not related.
Then, please check that you have correct inputs (string etc.) and also expand the node in the middle.
Some example dwg also might help.

You have the dyn file, I find this work super interesting, I’m trying to implement it but I don’t know how to make it work. Thank you very much
