Hi,
I have a doubt …During working on script i am creating line geometry and alignment so that i can use these to get intersect points for some further calculation purpose but i don’t want these to be drawn/visible in my CAD drawing. Is there a way i can turn off their visibility in main drawing?


Please suggestion if any solutions are there.
You could convert the geometry in the Dynamo environment and do the calculations there, or you can delete the objects at the end of the graph.
i don;t want to go with the 2nd option but can you elaborate a bit on the first one. How can i do calculation in the dynamo environment because my geometries will get created in the CAD.
Instead of creating an offset alignment, you can get the geometry of the original alignment, and then create an offset of that Polycurve within Dynamo, therefore not creating any object within Civil 3D.
You can use these nodes. AlignmentExtensions.GetGeometry is from C3D Toolkit.
Be aware however that the node is dependent on the Style of the Alignment within Civil 3D, you want the Alignment to have the same look for Lines, Curves and Spirals, otherwise it will not interpret them in the correct way.
