Not sure what you were using the profile for. Was that to get coordinate systems that are offset from the alignment? If so, you can just supply an offset in _Alignment.CoordinateSystemByStationOffset_.

The _MText.StationFormatting_ node is from the Civil 3D Toolkit package. You can accomplish the same thing with OOTB string nodes if you don’t want any package dependencies.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to use this for, but just an observation…this seems to do pretty much exactly what Civil 3D alignment labels already do.

This script add the text flat in 2d not 3d.

@mlsh If I understand you correctly you want to convert the alignment label to 3d text, or at least 2d text rotated 90 deg along the z axis, is this correct?

If so this is something I have been lookin for also without being able to find a solution. Dies anybody have any idea?
