How to edit cross section using parameters from property set?

[solpeppe]

Hi everyone, I was looking for this solution, but I’ve not found anything.
I am wondering if it is possible to use the value of some property set data to modify appearance of cross section elements (such as for instance depth or width of some elements) without using Dynamo in Civil3d.
Is this possible? Does it exist a way for doing this?
Thanks

This is just my thought since I've just recently opened pandora's box (property data sets), you'll probably need to establish what you want in the corridor model for the section. Now Dynamo, is Pandora 2.0 and a work in progress at my current mindset.

I misread that

Hi @solpeppe, when working with section views, you can use reference texts within the label styles to get values from other C3D elements like alignments, COGO points, and others (see the images)

Furthermore, you can also create expressions to control labels or to insert custom values.

And when creating a corridor, you can harness the possibility that C3D gives you of using output parameters as reference values from adjacent subassemblies to control the depth, width, or Slope of some other subassemblies.

In the previous assembly I show you in the image, I'm controlling the width and Slope of the outside subassembly depending on the inside lane values. But mind that to do this, the subassembly I want to get the value from must have those dimensions as output parameters. Open the "assembly properties" window and check the "use" field in "parameter reference" and assign the value.

As you can see, we have many different but somehow related options to get the editions I understood you're looking for.

I hope this helps

Best regards!
