hello good people, im trying to create a dynamo script that can create areas between two profiles in civil 3d, i should be able to pick the two profiles, then dynamo can create the areas between them, Im really in need of this areas to compute other items, I will appreciate if I can get the way the nodes are to be joined, Thanks in advance
Could you share a more information about your graph or code? You will get better responses if your question has context and is more precise.
For example, if you are really starting from zero, I would say start with Civil Object by Name, but I might be telling you to build a road on a railway track without more context.
P.S. The dot key (.) is next to the comma key (,) and I recommend you use it to improve written clarity.
Ive uploaded a pic showing the two profiles, I need to calculate the area between these two profiles so that I can multiply it by some lengths to get the volume of that material, I need nodes that can help me connect and pick the two profiles, then maybe they should be projected to maybe XZ plane and then dynamo to workout the areas in between pic showing the two profiles
Assuming you are using Civil 3D 2025 or newer, you could pick your two profiles using these nodes: Choose Object Type, Choose Alignment Name, Civil Object By Name and Alignment.Profiles.
What does your graph look like now?
Ive used the alignment.profiles node, i now have the two profiles in dynamo, ive attached the screenshot, how do i move now from here to get the surface area between the two profiles, progress
