is it possible to export the position and elevation of points plotted in a section view to a csv or txt file? I have a surface with section profiles cut every 100 feet or so, and would like an external copy of just the data used to plot the section views to use for another analysis.
Thanks, Darren
Possibly using the Toolbox>Reports>Cross Section Points Report>Execute
You can change the file output type in the reports by choosing the folder icon and choosing Excel, xml etc.

On another note, what are you using the sections for? If you are planning on importing them into HEC RAS, there is a tool in C3D that allows you to do this. It's on the Output tab of the ribbon.
Taking a closer look at the report, it's for corridors only. You'll need to have a corridor for that particular report and it doesn't sound like you have one.
What are you exporting the secction data for?
I'm no expert at subassembly composer but, I think there may be an option within that to follow a surface. That might get you what you want.
Perhaps I can convince Katie Mercer or Peter Funk to take a look at this thread and see if they can come up with an option.
It basically does exactly what the name says. It allows you to compose subassemblies. Want a subbasembly to do "this" but none of the out of the box ones will do "this" then go to the subassembly composer and create a subassembly that will do "this".
If you are a subscription customer, check out some of the online classes at Autodesk University, particularly the ones from Peter Funk and Katie Mercer.
This thread sounds like a similar situation to yours where there wasn't a corridor, post 19 of 19 mentions using a Null Assembly basically creating a Null Corridor to trick the Feature Line Report into providing the X,Y,Z Surface Coordinates.
I tried it here using 2012 and it seems to function fine (but I did have a working corridor in dwg used).
The report format looks identical to report posted in the other thread.
Not sure if This will help to track down your .NET errors but looks like 4.0 is a prerequisite of 2012 installs.
