How to create multiple alignments from multiple polylines then create multiple profiles at once

[ethan_bott]

I'm trying to create a lisp that would take multiple polylines and convert them into alignments.

I saw a lisp here, but don't think that it works with civil 2023 which is what I work with: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/how-to-generate-multiple-alignments-from-multiple-poly...

Was also wondering if there was a way to take multiple alignments an create profiles for them using the same surface all at once. Example would be taking five alignments, running a lisp then having it generate 5 profiles without going through the command each time. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

That lisp works just fine in C3D 2023. And should work in any release of C3D. Adding the creation of the surface profile wouldn't be too difficult. Might want to post in the C3D Customization forum to ask for help doing that.

If you were to consider third party add-ons, DotSoft's C3DTools contains two tools to quickly handle this scenario.

1. The Alignments from Entities tool will process a selection set of any linear objects and create multiple alignments in one step.  The results become the implied selection set.
2. The Profile Create Multiple tool will create Profiles and a stack of ProfileViews by selecting multiple Alignments, picking the surface and a starting point for the stack.
