Hi,
I created a script which does the following:
It looks like your whole script is only doing stuff to the copy. You’d need to create a second branch directly off the select objects node if you wanted to edit the original.
Are you wanting to get a 2D polyline and leave the original Feature Line untouched, or are you wanting to delete the original Feature Line when finished?
I want to leave original FL untouched.
I dont need edit the original FL within a script. Ive just said that my script do the job but after running a script it is not possible to edit FL manually in C3D.
Any ideas why script makes Feature Line uneditiable ?
@kovacsv this is close but isn’t quite correct for Feature Line arc segments because the FeatureLine.PolyCurve node tessellates the curves to create an approximation. The “pure” way to do it would be to recreate the segments from the bulge values.

I don’t think feature lines like the object.copy node. Likely better to find a different method of processing the feature line in Dynamo and returning a polyline to Civil 3D.
My guess is that one thing that is going on has to do with Civil object names and it seems if you use Object.Copy on a civil object it will replicate the same name and as soon as that is created and Civil doesn’t like that, even if you rename it afterwards.
Also, here’s discussion on the other side of the house: Solved: Feature Line to Polyline 2D - Autodesk Community
Nice code sample @zachri.jensen 
, if obj.Closed is True we don’t need to reduce obj.PointsCount by 1. Something like this works if obj is closed or not. See lines 35 to 39. Also if obj.Closed is True I’d also recommend closing the Polyline instance being create, see lines 73 to 75.

Nice additions @Alex.ColeAAFHE, thanks.
