Hi folks,
I’m just trying a dynamo script to compare a surface with Cogo points and finally show me the selected points!?
How can I define two inputs to select the preferred surface and points by selecting manually from the drawing instead of choosing in the program!?
Can you clarify what you mean? Right now you have to prompt each selection node in Dynamo and then make a selection in your drawing. Are you saying you want to make a selection in your drawing first and then have Dynamo use that selection when it executes? I think there are a few custom nodes that do this, you’d just have to make one selection and then filter the surface and points separately.
But what’s your reason for doing this? The selection nodes are straightforward and easier to setup and use. Running your script through Dynamo Player can make this feel more natural. You can even use Data-Shapes to automatically prompt for each selection when the script runs.
If I can convey what i mean,
I’d like this object selection at the beginning, whether surface or point selected by the user in the drawing, not inside the program
for example, the program has two inputs in the drawing may be selected by the user!
And additionally, the output may also be exported to CSV format!
If you want the surface and points pre-selected, then you’ll have to use a custom node. The Springs and Sparrow packages both have selection nodes for Revit - you’d have to check and see what’s available for C3D.
Again, it’s unclear why you need the selection to be before the script, but it could make things a little more complicated just to save a few clicks. A custom input from Data-Shapes and running your script through Player usually feels better once you get everything setup.
Hola amigos buenas! 
Amigo @SOSHA92 what you’re describing to need, i think is a filter by object type applicated to a custom selection, i mean a objects group of diferent types, good news is that is posible, bad news you must write all the object type or get a workflow that allows you to select the correct type evoiding orthograpique errors, any way filter objects from same type is an other story you must take an other filter criteria like layers or COGO points groups for example, i let you how to do the filter by object type!!
