Dear All,  
I hope you are all doing very well. I am new to Dynamo for Civil 3d and am trying to play around and learn some of Dynamo’s routines. I would be very thankful if someone could help me with the following,  
I want to create A dynamo scripts that can allow me to rename all the TINsurfaces inside a drawing. For example, if I have 4 or 5 EG\_ surfaces, I want to have them renamed with the following increment numbers EG\_01, EG\_02…etc.  
Thank you so much for any support or explanation.  
Kindly regards  
Salwan Abbosh
