Profile View Band Styles

[Civil3DReminders_com]

I'm stuck. I'm trying to add assign a Pipe Network to a profile view Band in Civil 3D 2011. I was using COM to add profiles to bands because I couldn't figure out how to do it in .NET. But when it comes to pipe networks I don't see how you can do that with COM. Does anyone have some code for how the .NET implementation is supposed to work? Here's the code I have that works for COM, except for the pipe networks. I essentially need to assign the correct pipe network to the band.

Thank you,

        public static void AddProfileToBand(this ProfileView profileView, ObjectId profObjId, List<BandItemInfo> bandStyleInfosFromSet, ObjectId profileBandSetId)
        {
            using (Transaction tr = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
            {
                try
                {
                    Alignment align = profileView.AlignmentId.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead) as Alignment;
                    AeccAppConnection aecApp = new AeccAppConnection();
                    AeccAlignment alignCOM = aecApp.AeccDoc.AlignmentsSiteless.Item(align.Name);
                    AeccProfileView profViewCOM = alignCOM.ProfileViews.Item(profileView.Name);
                    Profile prof = profObjId.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead) as Profile;
                    AeccProfile profCOM = alignCOM.Profiles.Item(prof.Name);

                    // Remove the existing bands.
                    while (profViewCOM.BandSet.Count > 0)
                    {
                        profViewCOM.BandSet.Remove(0);
                    }

                    profileView.UpgradeOpen();
                    profileView.Bands.ImportBandSetStyle(profileBandSetId);

                    // Add them back in, this is if the user hasn't added them in.
                    //foreach (var bandStyleInfo in bandStyleInfosFromSet)

Well I finally figured it out, one has to Set the ProfileViewBandItems after Getting it and then adding the profile or data source.

Hi @Civil3DReminders_com,

I have the same problem with bandset for sectionview.

Did you have import bandset for sectionview?

I use this medthod: sectionView.Bands.ImportBandSetStyle(bandstyle.Id);

it work well in Civil 3d 2023, but another version, it doesn't work.

Can you help me to sovled it?

c# tip 🙂

HasName method 

private static bool HasName(List<BandItemInfo> bandStyleInfosFromSet, string name)
        {
            return bandStyleInfosFromSet.Any(x => x.Name == name);
        }

I think the API change was made in Civil 3D 2020 Update 5. This is the only code that I've been using for updating the section view bands.

Hi @Civil3DReminders_com ,

Can you share me the function of "UpdateBandProfileAndDataSource" as picture below?

Thank you!

[Civil3DReminders_com]

This is the one I found first. 

        private static void UpdateBandProfileAndDataSource(ObjectId PipeNetworkObjId, Profile prof, ProfileViewBandItemCollection bottomBandItems, ObjectId prof2ObjId)
        {
            foreach (ProfileViewBandItem bandItem in bottomBandItems)
            {
                switch (bandItem.BandType)
                {
                    case Autodesk.Civil.BandType.HorizontalGeometry:
                        bandItem.Profile1Id = prof.ObjectId;
                        if (!prof2ObjId.IsNull)
                        {
                            bandItem.Profile2Id = prof2ObjId;
                        }
                        break;
                    case Autodesk.Civil.BandType.PipeNetwork:
                        if (PipeNetworkObjId != ObjectId.Null)
                        {
                            bandItem.DataSourceId = PipeNetworkObjId;
                        }
                        break;
                    case Autodesk.Civil.BandType.ProfileData:
                        bandItem.Profile1Id = prof.ObjectId;
                        if (!prof2ObjId.IsNull)
                        {

                    case Autodesk.Civil.BandType.SuperelevationData:

                        break;
                    default:

                bandItem.ShowLabels = true;
            }
        }
