Needed an easy way to show earthwork exhibits to LA County plan check. Built a quick plugin that visualizes cut/fill depths in a grid pattern on the TIN volume surface. After generating, select some +/- grid ticks, then select similar and wblock out for a nice and clean xref.

    I'm not familiar with dotnet, visual etc. but just wanted to test the plugin.

    Following the readme on github i'm getting error-messages concerning type- or namespace "BricsCAD" "Teigha" "CommandMethodAttribute" "CommandMethod" and "CommandFlags".

    Can someone give me a hint, what is missing ?

    Thanks

    Just found it out - in the .csproj i had to change the paths for my german version:

      <HintPath>C:\Program Files\Bricsys\BricsCAD V26 de_DE\BrxMgd.dll</HintPath>

    Got completely swamped right after this, planning to try to make this a bit more generic as I want to try this on linux and macos next. I guess the initial idea of stock stock Windows didn't work out the way I thought it would. Going to throw this into https://cybara.ai/ and open code GO deepseek to see what it can fine tune to make it as generic as possible so that error doesn't happen.
