Object.ByGeometry node not working

Civil3D

Hello everybody.
I made a solid geometry in Dynamo and I am trying to import it in Civil 3D by means of the node Object.ByGeometry, method that in my short experience worked already in the past, but not now.

In this picture you can see the last group of nodes I used in my visual script. I freezed three of the Object.ByGeometry nodes in order to make my machine work quicker. I am trying to make it work only with the several cubes solids.

The script works fine 'till here, with no warnings.

Appearently, this last part works too, but then in C3D nothing appears.

The geometry is meant to be deployed along the baseline for few meters.

The output of Cuboid.ByLengths goes as input to the geometry of Object.ByGeometry node.

Please, any help is very appreaciated. Thanks to anybody who will contribute.

Happy Easter!

Search about this topic. The solution is to clean your temp-folder.

Thank you so much @patrick.ericson, I am kind of new to the community, and I didn’t think of looking for this problem by using the specific name of the node. I always will in future! Thank you and have a nice wekend :grinning:

Hi @patrick.ericson, i tried the solution you suggested but it didn’t work. I cleared the temp folder and then restarted my PC but still got null results. Please see the green group.

Note:
I am using Civil 3D 2025 - free trial version. My PC’s OS is Windows10 version.

Hi @keanujasonreyes
I think this is a different issue. Can you expand what comes out from the polycurve node? Does Dynamo creste the polycurves on the Dynamo canvas?

Here’s what’s inside the polycurve node.

I am also sending the file in case this will be useful.
Gridlines.dyn (34.1 KB)

I don’t have 2025 installed yet.
This might be a bug, @zachri.jensen can you split the thread and we can continue in the new thread?

@keanujasonreyes have you tried to create another object instead of polycurves, such as a circle?

@patrick.ericson I tried creating circle by points and the Object. ByGeometry worked. I was able to transfer the geometry to CAD.

Hello,
Why don’t you just use polyline.bypoints?

It’s actually not a bug, creating polylines from polycurves just isn’t supported yet.

Oki, thanks.
Early morning and wasn’t at my computer to test.
