Hi,
Do we have any nodes to get pipe networks and its pipes from profileview?
Try the below Python code and let me know if you have any issues. It will allow you to select parts from a profile view and return there model equivalent. You can then pass these into the nodes in the toolkit for much more info (such as network)

Thanks for sharing the code. I’m getting exception "AttributeError: ‘ProfileView’ has no attribute ‘ModelPartId’.
Could you please drop here your dyn file?
You need to select the part(s) displaying in the profile - not the profile view itself

It works but this is not what I am after. I was aware of this select multiple objects and get SelectionByQuery. I’m looking to get directly from profile view without selecting objects.
Apologies - the below Python script will alow you to select a profile and return a list of it’s parts. Hopefully this is what your looking for

Many thanks for this but unfortunately it doesn’t work for pressure pipes. I get EmpyList. Do you have any workaround to work with pressure pipes? I really appreciate your help.
