I am starting a new script and I am hitting a wall on the first node. Ultimately I am trying to write a script to array an object, elementary I know, the first node “Select Object” allows me to click the object in the file but I don’t see it on the grid in Dynamo?!?!?!? Am I missing something?
It might not be close to the origin. Click on the Object.Geometry node in Dynamo, then switch to the 3D Background Preview (button in the top right). Right-click and select “Zoom to Fit”.
I was able to find the object after I started a new script. I am getting a warning about modeling range. It is telling me to change to “Large” scaling. Is it typical to work on the “Large” scale?
Leave the geometry scaling set to Medium even though you get the warnings. Changing to Large or Extra Large will make the warnings go away, but it will introduce other issues. It is a known problem with Dynamo’s integration with Civil 3D and the fact that us civil engineers typically work in real-world (i.e. very large) coordinates. Some other documentation:
