Creating CogoPoints with Python Script

Civil3D

Hello all
I’m trying to creating CogoPoints on a FeatureLines
with Python Script , but there is an error
Can someone help me where is the problem?

Hi @hosneyalaa,

I didn’t look at the code too closely, but I’m curious if there is a particular reason why you’re using this approach instead of the Civil 3D Toolkit (for the Feature Line data) and the OOTB nodes for COGO points?

@zachri.jensen
I have knowledge of using API WITH C# language
I am trying to implement API in python
Thank you for the codes you shared
and all members

please help me

Hi @hosneyalaa,
I agree with @zachri.jensen, using dynamo nodes in dynamo sounds more logical in your case. Check this link in Dynamo Primer about best practices.

However, and to answer your question; below is a script that adds cogo points at featureline vertices.
FeaturelinePoints.dyn (4.2 KB)
