Hi I’m trying to create flow where when we select a polyline and surface, a cross section is brought up. When I run the process, the cross section does not appear because there are no sources in the cross section. I would like to know if there is a process or Node for adding a source to the cross…

Hi, I’m not sure if there is a node for that, but you can add sources using python. [image] Some way to add sample sources with Dynamo in Civil 3D? Civil3D Sorry, I missed the part that you wanted to add surfaces. # Load the Python Standard and DesignScript Libraries imp…

Thank you! I’ve run the API for several times, but error occurs. Actually I’ve almost never used API, so I can’t understand what error means. Is it the case that error occurs if Dynamo version is different?

Sorry to ask here but can you explain how can I use this? I’m trying to add sources to a sample line group and cán’t get that code to work in mi graph. Thanks.

Please be more specific. What type of sources would you like to add, what error do you get etc. This is the iportant part: Here you can change the type to be added or add items by name etc.: https://help.autodesk.com/view/CIV3D/2023/ENU/?guid=bc57db53-be0e-05a9-71d5-a4b93daa4f25 https://help.aut…

What I try to do is to add sources (surfaces and corridors) to a sample line group, as you have done in this thread. [image] Some way to add sample sources with Dynamo in Civil 3D? Civil3D Sorry, I missed the part that you wanted to add surfaces. # Load the Python Standar…

Oh okay I see. Sorry I am on phone on the weekend so I cannot take a look at it. Try to switch the script to ironpython 2.7 as it is less sensitive with tabs and spaces. Or enable the display of spaces in the options to see what causes this and change every indentation to space or tab. To add corrid…

@yoshida this isn’t totally related, but might be of interest to you. [image] Recreating surface from sections CAD Civil3D Have someone idea how can I do this? The idea is similar to this from 2012, I want to build a surface from polylines references on the section views…

You’re right. I’ve managed to add TIN Surfaces correcting the indentation. That Python script should recognize also corridor surfaces? Cause it doesn’t add them. As for corridors, there shouldn’t be a problema if it adds all the corridors cause I only have one this time. But is there a way to just …

Theoretically all types listed here should work. Change “TinSurface” to the desired Member Name https://help.autodesk.com/view/CIV3D/2023/ENU/?guid=bc57db53-be0e-05a9-71d5-a4b93daa4f25 You can add Corridor by name with source.SourceName property, but you should change the code so it filters out co…

Sorry for the late reply. I was studying to find out API. I want to add Surface to 18 Samplelines. ※“SampleLineGroup.SampleLines” is List [image] Watching the chat, I’ve changed “・・・・” to “>>” I have no idea what the error means. and how to solve [image]

Thank you!! It was very interesting and I would like to use it.

Hi,
I’m not sure if there is a node for that, but you can add sources using python.
