Hi All
I have created a script that will create a profile view and add selected parts to it.
The only problem I have now is that the Data source containing the selected pipes does not get correctly selected when the profile view gets created. So I want to write a python code to set the pipe source.
I found some code here - https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-customization/profile-view-bands/td-p/4744655
also referenced in another post about setting profile source info - https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/set-profileview-band-profile-1-or-profile-2-to-new-profile/55677/9
I have attempted to edit the code to set the pipe source, but I am quite new at the python node and get the error - unexpected token … I think the error is at line55, but I am not sure how to fix it - any help will be appreciated.
See the python code:
I also attach the script

Thanks @hosneyalaa, I have added the t.commit() line and worked through some subsequent errors and renamed some variables. The script seems to run now, but the existing profile view does not get updated. I initally had the code wrapped in a function, but I would assume the OUT takes care of the output?
Any advice?

Hi I’m sorry
My language bad
Read the subject you attached , in last subject
I think, you need this method
profview.Bands.SetBottomBandItems(bottomBands)
If not working
Can you attached example drawing
Hi @hosneyalaa - I appreciate your willingness to help. I have looked in more detail at this post: Re: Profile View Bands - Autodesk Community - Civil 3D and it seems like they create a collection of the band id’s , delete the bands, and then re-assign the “corrected” bands…
I have tried to mimic this approach, but I am not sure how to get the BandstyleId attribute.
for m in range(profview_botband_count):
band_id = profview_bandset_items[m].BandStyleId
band_col.append(band_id)
gives me error: AttributeError: BandStyleId
Then I tried adding the inherent form ProfileViewBandSetItem.)
for m in range(profview_botband_count):
band_id = ProfileViewBandSetItem[m].BandStyleId
band_col.append(band_id)
gives me error: NameError: name ‘ProfileViewBandSetItem’ is not defined.
So… I am at the end of my rope…
I attach a sample drawing, code snippet and code.
Set PV band_test drawing.dwg (968.4 KB)
STW_Culverts_Create profile view.dyn (70.7 KB)
BandStyleId this property only set … check it
So you have any errors
band_id = ProfileViewBandSetItem[m].BandStyleId
band_col.append(band_id)
Hi @hosneyalaa - Yes I get this error
Tried -
import Enumeration BandType
from Autodesk.Civil import BandType
- Sorry, I really don’t understand what I am doing wrong, I re-attach the drawing and script if that helps
