Still new to all this, I was able to use a sample posted that placed profile view labels from block locations. I modified that to just read an excel file. I’d like to know if it’s possible to somehow place blocks in the profile view or even mtext point id label. if possible, I’d like to ultimately …

Hey John, happy it helps. The script currently uses the “desc” value in the table to chose what block is placed. The blockname in the blockrecord of the drawing I provided intentionally matches this value. If you want, you can add a column to your excel file with the header “blockName”. Then you wou…

So I believe what you want is actually pretty simple, but if I’m missing anything please tell me. You can use to bool toggles to turn on and off the annotation of the point number and the description. BlocksAndMleadersFromExcelToProfile.dyn (164.1 KB) points to profile.dwg (1.6 MB) points to prof…

Shaun, The video clip looks like you hit the bulls eye. it’s going to take me a bit to redo the graph, I’m still new at this. Lets see if I can get this to work. Thanks so much for your help. This will open up some doors for other things I’d like to try. I’ll get back to you when I get this working…

No problem. Reach out if you have any issues or need guidance for labeling anything else or want to use station elevation labels instead of Mleaders. I need an excuse to play with the Camber nodes for profile station elevation labels anyway.

This is wierd and shouldn’t be happening. It does opens well for me in 2022. You say you’ve seen this happen ? Can you open a new thread and share a video for example ?

Will do. Yes, I’ve noticed that if I create a script in Dynamo for Civil 3D 2023 and open it in an older version it will sometimes be blank. Seems that John is having the same issue.

hi @WrightEngineering My English is not very good. I don’t know if I can explain the subject, I apologize in advance if it is not understood… I want to develop a little more on the dyn you made… I can add the surface model on the profile, I can add the cogopoints with what you did. For example, …

No worries on the english. Perhaps just use google translate. It should be good enough. if we can add polyline and a few other objects, I think it will be better. I’m sure polylines can be added, but what polylines do you want added? Do you want the projection of 3d polylines to be added to the …

Abdullahcicek, I currently use cogo point by projection but if was difficult moving the points between all the dwgs I was needed to project points in, and also switch layers and symbols. But if you used the excel as the point insert id maybe add points could be done just as fast. I like this new o…

hi @WrightEngineering This is the dyn file I use, if you examine it… I want to show all objects in profile… I couldn’t send it because my dwg file is big. You can draw any profile and ; line, polyline, block, etc. I want to add objects to profile… PROFILE_ADD_OBJECTS-04.1.dyn (4.5 MB)
