Get xref object geometry to dynamo

Civil3D

Hello,

I would like to get in Dynamo the geometry of objects included in an xref of my drawing, would it be possible?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

Depending what you need, the node ‘Select Model Element’ connected to ‘Get Element Geometry’ will work… But if you look at the BiMorph package you will find more sophisticated nodes which might help :slight_smile:

Cheers,

An XREF is a block, so you can get the block contents:

The block name input should be the actual name of the XREF, not the layer that it is on. So in this case, it looks like the name is “Bati”.

Thanks a lot! I’m such a newbee…

Now more difficult maybe : would it be possible to filter the objects of my XREF among their layer in the wref?

Sure, you can get the object layer and filter just like you might do with the current drawing. Maybe something like this.
