Hi Everyone!
I can’t find the node for the sample line properties
I need to get the properties of the sample line: name, station, coordinates …e.t.c
Thanks in advance…

There is no node for this. There is only a create sample line under the alignment extensions. You can make the request on the civil 3D toolkit github : Issues · paoloemilioserra/Civil3dToolkit · GitHub

In the meantime try looking at the Sample Line Class : Help

Hi @lebinhx3c2012,

I wrote this up for you to try. This has not be thoroughly tested, so use with caution.

Thank you very much!
I have a problem @mzjensen, I cannot get information in the Vertices List.

Use a Dictionary.ValueAtKey node with a key of “Vertices”.

Camber package Useful Packages - Dynamo can extract SampleLine information.

Is there a way to set the left/right offsets of a sampleline created via the Camber package?

No, not at present.
