A lisp to auto rotate Structures?

[faisalWJ8Y9]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone has a lisp that can automatically rotate a structure to line up with the object it is connected with.

For example if I create a stormwater pipe network using the pipe network tools button  and I've used a structure from my structure parts list such as a pit and the pit is rotated incorrectly rather than 90 degrees whether there is a lisp that will auto rotate it to be 90 degrees. So rather than selecting pit by pit and rotating them individually it will bulk rotate them.

thanks,

FD

You could edit the pipe network and change all the angles in the Panorama.

Or a Dynamo Script.  That one doesn't seem that complicated.

AH thank you, still new to the design side of things, didn't realise it had a in built way to do it.

In the Panorama, select the Structures to be rotated. Right click the column heading for rotation and select Edit. Type the new rotation for all selected structures and press enter.

I think there isn't a node to set the rotation angle of a structure. Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?

[tcorey]

A "Node" to set the rotation? Do you mean "there isn't a Grip to set the rotation angle of a structure." ?

[paolo_rotaFK7DE]

Sorry, no I mean a Dynamo node to automatically set the rotation angle to the structure

I have always felt the getting started video for pipes is a misleading piece of advertising.

Hi @faisalWJ8Y9 and @cwitzel5NL5H 

If you are working on Civil 3D 2025.1 update, there is a sample Dynamo graph that will rotate structures perpendicular to a given alignment. It's available in the Dynamo Player samples, but you can also explore it in Dynamo as a good starting point:

@paolo_rotaFK7DE the Object.SetRotation node in Dynamo > AutoCAD shelf can be used to rotate many different Objects, it's not specific to Structures, but will be able to assign the rotation angle of a structure!

Hope this helps,

Thank you very much, this node "Object.SetRotation" will be very useful

Can you tell me Object.setrotation under which package?

[samir.rezk]

@Hemalatha_Sivanesan 

It's natively part of Dynamo for Civil 3D, no package needed. You will find it under the AutoCAD library, be sure to visit the Dynamo for Civil 3D primer for learning resources to get started 

Hope this helps,
