Wish List: Set SubEntity Properties #49

Hi Paolo,

First off, I'd like to thank you for all the hard work you've put in to the Civil 3D Toolkit! I've just recently started exploring Dynamo and the nodes from your toolkit and I think what you are creating will be a game changer in the Transportation industry.

I'd like to request a couple nodes regarding SubEntities (both alignment and profile). There are currently several nodes that Get subentity information which works great! I'd like to request nodes that "Set" subentity properties as the design progresses (set /change curve radius, spiral length, vertical curve length to name a few).

My use case is to have a dynamic check and revision process using dynamo. Currently I have the check part figured out bringing in all the alignment subentity information and performing design calculation checks on the various subentity properties. I think being able to set/change subentity information based on user inputs in dynamo while checking the design calculations would be very useful.

Thanks again for all your hard work.

Cheers,

Omar
