Create Solids Between Surfaces

[sobeshan.pillay]

Hi All,

I’m using C3D 2021 and when I try to use the node TinSurfaceExtensions.CreateSolidsAtSurface it returns the error

Warning: TinSurfaceExtensions.CreateSolidsAtSurface operation failed.
Method not found: ‘Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.ObjectIdCollection Autodesk.Civil.DatabaseServices.TinSurface.CreateSolidsAtSurfaceToFile(Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.ObjectId, System.String, UInt16, System.String ByRef)’.

Does anyone know what the problem is?
The operation works perfectly using normal civil 3D.

What specific version are you using?

Hi Zachri,

Generate Solids Between TIN Surfaces with Dynamo for Civil 3D

I would just try to update as far as you can with Civil 3D 2021. The last update was 2021.3.

Thanks, might I ask which version you are running? It seemed to work perfectly on the demo you gave on the other thread.

Also, do you think it would work if I wrote a python script to do the same as the node?

That was awhile ago, so I don’t know what version I was using at the time. I have 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 installed on my machine (necessary for my job) and I keep them all updated to the latest versions all the time.

Also, do you think it would work if I wrote a python script to do the same as the node?

Personally, I think that would be more complex and brittle than just updating your machine so the node works correctly.
