Structure Connected Pipes Invert Level

ronald.parangat — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 04:03:03 GMT

Hi, I am trying to extract the connected pipe(s) invert level using VB script. I am new to Civil3D .net api. I would like to be able iterate it for multiple connected pipes. The script I wrote looks like this.

RESULT="--"
On Error Resume Next
Set oApp=GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application")
Set oCivilApp=oApp.GetInterfaceObject("AeccXUiPipe.AeccPipeApplication.13.2")
Set obj=oCivilApp.ActiveDocument.HandleToObject("[Handle]")
RESULT= obj.ConnectedPipe.InvertLevel

Grateful if somebody could provide some help.

Thanks for your reply. I have seen this thread. But I want to extract the connected pipes invert level within the structure. To be more precise, I want to be able to see the pipe invert levels on the extended data property set attached to the structures.

The code from your link is extracting the pipe invert levels on the extended data property set attached to the pipes. I am using that code aswell.

This code seems to not work. I understand the code but when I checked my sp1 is resulting in error. Im using C3d 2020 by the way. I just put "28ee" in the handle just for my example. sp2 seems to work fine.

Put (0) indeed (1)

Oh the code works when I tried sp1 = obj.PipeCenterDepth(2), sp1 = obj.PipeCenterDepth(3), sp1 = obj.PipeCenterDepth(4). Why is my pipe index 2,3,4? why not 0,1,2?

The numbers indicate the number of connected pipes
For the first sp1 = obj.PipeCenterDepth (0)
The second sp2 = obj.PipeCenterDepth (1)
And so on

Seems like the index of the connected pipes does not always start with 0. For example, one of my structures has returned the value for the first pipe with index "2", i .e. sp1 = obj.PipeCenterDepth(2).
