Is there a way to change the input of this script to work with a list? I’ve tried changing the line of the script input but it’s only resulted in errors.
for the line “if isinstance(bl, BlockReference) and bl.Name.startswith(IN[0]):” does there need to be another loop?

clr.AddReference('AcMgd')
clr.AddReference('AcCoreMgd')
clr.AddReference('AcDbMgd')
clr.AddReference('AecBaseMgd')
clr.AddReference('AecPropDataMgd')
clr.AddReference('AeccDbMgd')

adoc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
editor = adoc.Editor
with adoc.LockDocument():
with adoc.Database as db:
with db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction() as t:
bt = t.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForWrite)
btr = t.GetObject(bt[BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace], OpenMode.ForWrite)
blh = []
blr = []
errorReport = None
for oid in btr:
bl = t.GetObject(oid, OpenMode.ForRead)
try:
# Filter BlockReference starts with.
if isinstance(bl, BlockReference) and bl.Name.startswith(IN[0]):
# Get values of handle & Rotation.
blh.append(bl.Handle)
blr.append(bl.Rotation)
# Catch and report Exception...
except:
import traceback
errorReport = traceback.format_exc()
t.Commit()
# Assign your output to the OUT variable.
if errorReport == None:
OUT = blh,[x*57.2958 for x in blr]# Convert from radians to degrees
else:
OUT = errorReport
@RDM if you’re interested in skipping the Python, you could use the Civil 3D Toolkit node ObjectExtensions.GetParameterByName and not have to worry about input list structure.
This is basically what I’m looking for, although I would like to try stick with Python so it doesn’t rely on other users installing the Civil Toolkit package.
But this is a good solution for now to make sure the rest of the script works.
