Hi
The below script doesn’t export the surfaces solids, Do you know what is missing ? it returns empty lists
ExtractSurfacesSolids.dyn (12.4 KB)
Regards
Hi
What I want to achieve is extracting as many surfaces as available within the model to separated files ( file for each surface solids) … is that possible ?
Oh really
I have not tried it before
May this link help you
or using civil api
https://help.autodesk.com/view/CIV3D/2022/ENU/?guid=a928536c-2ef0-ca28-1903-b00359295053
if this task shall be done by a python coding, what does this node do then ?
I think I haven’t tried it
You need this link after that with some changes
To export to another drawing

It worked perfectly with simple surfaces but it returns this warning for the huge ones:
(Warning: IronPythonEvaluator.EvaluateIronPythonScript operation failed.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 72, in
File “”, line 65, in Create_Catchment_Label
SystemError: Surface has too many triangles, no more than 100000 triangles allowed)
try
using Manual
I already use Manual
Oh really
I don’t know the problem
Can you attach an example drawing?
for experimentation
I uploaded it here due to big size
Tried it through the program from the same thing
It does not work because the surface is too large
Therefore, it will not work with programming
Work with me when the size of the surface is small by setting borders
You can divide the surface into parts and then group them together in a plate
can you use TinSurfaceExtensions.Crop

it works from the civil 3d built in command but takes a bit long time
let’s investigate if there is a coding line can overcome this
I got this issue exactly and used what @hosneyalaa suggested (cropping the surface). My workflow :
- Crop the terrain surface temporarily
- Use that to extract the solids
- Delete the cropped surface so it will be completely transparent for the user
Normally it is the terrain surface that is too big. Personally I used the corridor surface perimeter with a small offset as the cropping object. It worked nicely
