Modification of Dynamic Block Properties by Dynamo C3D

[mzjensen]

@rodney.bernard - the OOTB node for getting the block references of a dynamic block has a shortcoming in that it does not handle anonymous blocks, which is what happens when dynamic properties are used. To get around this I asked Paolo to add a node to the Civil 3D Toolkit to get the dynamic block references of a block. Here’s an example of how to use it.

Block.Blockreference not working

Hi everyone, I am developing a script to create 3D elements from existing 2D blocks. When trying to select the 2D blocks by Name the node Block.Blockreference does not seem to work with some elements and I do not understand why, I have tried auditing the drawing and others but can’t workout what the issue is. I am using Civil 3D 2020 with Update 2 and Dynamo4Civil 2.4, I leave some screenshots below and any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance! [image]
