Rectangle.ByWidthLength to Model Space not working

Hi.
I am using the node Rectangle.ByWidthLength then wiring it to Object.ByGeometry.
It show up in the correct location in Dynamo Editor but it won’t show up in C3D model space.
Is there another node needed to convert the dynamo rectangle into an autocad object?
Thanks.

AutoCAD doesn’t have a dedicated geometry type for a rectangle, so it needs to be a polyline. I would use the Civil 3D Toolkit to create a polyline from a Dynamo polycurve.

With the Arkance Systems Node Library you can create polycurve rectangles directly that can be converted to AutoCAD geometry.

This! ^^^

@Anton_Huizinga,
Thanks for the info on that package. I will definitely install that one.
@zachri.jensen,
Thanks for that workaround example. It doesn’t hurt to know more than one way to accomplish something.
