One thing I hated doing was creating wall profiles for retaining walls. Since Civil 3D requires profile PVIs to have different station values, it becomes tedious to ensure each PVI has a small gap between them. Then there is the other constraint of wanting even steps. If it is a block wall being 8” or for concrete retaining walls 1’ or 2’. Back in the day, around 2008, I wrote a command that did this in VBA, but I promptly lost the code when switching jobs. Recently I was given the task of once again creating wall profiles and found the process not improved by Autodesk. So I decided to write the command once more. Here is a video of the command in action:
The command will be available in a future version of the SincPac.

Nice!
I want to create particular polylines (calculated from section data) on the section view.
Then, I can create a surface with these polylines and get the sections. Sections will be like the polylines on the section views. I already have this last part but the most complicated is calculating corretly the polylines on the section view.
Take a look at this command in the SincPac: http://www.quuxsoft.com/SincpacC3D_Help/SP_DigitizeSectionTo3DPoly.htm
