Hi @everyone
I am looking for a lisp to add dimension on the cross-section elements automatically!?
Unfortunately, there isn't any way to add dimension on the cross-section in civil 3d like this.

Someone may write a code for this problem, but I think that continuous dimensions are good enough to do it relatively fast and precisely as you want. Not all section polylines are included in dimensioning process and you will always spend some time on corrections.

If you look at a typical LONG or CROSS section you would normally have vertical line work, with a chainage label. So if you can get that then its easy to do the repeated dims as you just select the lines to be used, looking at X value. Same if red line is a pline just use x value of vertices. No sample dwg to look at, need one.
This is a typical section.
Problem 1, red line is design surface, a pline then can get the vertex points for dims but it has a kerb so extra points even though those points are turned off in section regarding line work. Advantage can do for all crossections.
Suggestion 2 use the green lines getting X value the Y value is set by the dimension. Disadvantage need to pick.
3rd option read the chainages and make dims say below. My pick.
Given 8 x 15 cross sections in dwg I looked at.
