Calling All .NET API Developers...

[fastball51889]

Looking for somebody to write what should be an easy .NET API...I have a sample line group and need to extract the max elevation of each existing ground TIN surface section within the group. I ultimately want to import a profile from text file so I need sample line station + section max elevation for each sample line in the sample line group. Can anybody help me out??? The max elevation is easily found in the sample line properties or section properties, but I can't find a way to extract that data from hundreds of sample lines at once.

Thank you in advance!

Attached is a ZIP file with a .NET dll to extract the high points of the first TIN sections in a SamplineGroup. This tool currently assumes that there is just 1 TIN section per sample line. If there are more, just the first one encountered is used. Command name is "ExtractSampleLineGroupHighPoints".

Be sure to Unblock the ZIP file before opening and extracting the DLL. This file should work with C3D 2018-2020, perhaps newer releases as well.

Thank you, Jeff! This works great!
