How to position a block at set intervals along an Alignment

Hey all,

I am new to using Dynamo and I am looking for advice. What I am looking to do is, to use a fence post with a block foundation which would be a CAD block. And position it every 2 or 3m along an alignment.

I have had a go at trying to create a graph but I am not sure what you need to include.

Thanks

Adam

Hi @adam.coad3178,

First, select the appropriate alignment that you want to work with. Some nodes to help with that are Select Object, Alignments, or Selection.AlignmentByName.

Next, generate coordinate systems along the alignment at whatever stations you need. The node to use for that is Alignment.CoordinateSystemByStationOffset.

Finally, create block references using the BlockReference.ByCoordinateSystem node.
