Pipe_HGLFromExcel_V3.dyn (68.9 KB)
this is a good start to a package i found. but i want to revise to EGL imports to startinvert and endinvert but I cant seem to figure this out on my own. most of the nodes use Camber and dynamo doesnt seem to like using a mix of autodesk / third party nodes.
Welcome to the forums!
This thread walks through suggestions on how to setup and frame your questions so that you can get the best responses efficiently. I suggest reading through it and updating your initial post with anything that might be missing.
For example, your current screenshot shows now errors or warnings. What’s the actual issue you’re having? Your thread is tagged for Revit but you’re using a Civil3D node. What application are you working in? You have Watch nodes but no visible outputs. What does your data look like? How is it structured?
It’s hard for us to suggest a solution when we’re missing context. Include more information and setup the exact issue for us so we know what you’re looking for. The more detailed you are, the better responses you’ll typically get.
Yes! i just need HGL and inverts excel import. However the error messages i get from your workspace on the pipe invert nodes is pipe.startinvert expects argument type (autodesk.civil.dynamonodes.pipenetwork.pipe), but was called with (camber.civil.pipenetworks.parts.pipe[]).
Looks like Camber doesn’t include an invert node. One option is to replace the Camber nodes with Autodesk default nodes—that’s what I ended up doing in 2026. You could also try using Camber’s Pipe.Endpoint and Pipe.StartPoint nodes (you may need to subtract half the pipe width to calculate the invert). Another approach is to use ObjectExtension.GetParameter or GetParameterByName to pull the invert value directly. If we are lucky, maybe Zach will chime in with an idea. @zachri.jensen
