Hello everybody, I’m new in this forum… well, I’m new in this field indeed, so thank you for your friendly help, I’ll appreciate any comment.
First of all, sorry for my bad english, I hope this will not affect the comprehension of my questions.
I’m starting using Civil 3D for roads maintenance purposes, and I need to define a corridor (one single region) with a section made by assembling generic objects that allow the customer to assign them a set of generic alphanumerical data, no matter what shape or function they have. For this purpose, I’ve already used Subassembly Composer for assembling a .pkt section with 4 simple shapes in a row, each containing a different numerical parameter representing a physical condition of the road pavement.
What I have to do now is to assign a data set with the different values of those parameters, which I know from a previous survey, along the entire alignment with a known step (1 meter, for example). I can do it manually from the Section Editor interface in Civil 3D scrolling section by section, but I need to find an automatic procedure from an excel data set to Civil 3D.
Is it Dynamo the correct tool for this purpose?
Is there anything already available that can help me building this procedure?
Welcome to the forum!
Someone may correct me, but as far as I know corridor section parameter override is not yet exposed in the API, so I think automatization not possible yet. This is something I struggle with as well. So in short answer this is not something done easily in Dynamo.
There are some tricks in SA Composer for Baseline.Regionstart and Baseline.Regionend, or create multiple regions from excel data with Dynamo, but that results in tons of regions in your case, which is the opposite of convinient
Also you can try playing with the Corridorstate Class, but that is beyond my knowledge https://help.autodesk.com/view/CIV3D/2020/ENU/?guid=2ad444ae-ace2-8c30-0891-27d35fa219b0
Hi, thanks for answering so fast! Well, sounds like I’m in a big trouble
Ok, so I’ll try to find a solution starting from your suggestions, I’m not giving up
thank you
Well, this is something I made for quick testing @zachri.jensen 's idea.
If I have time I’ll look at your problem, because I need something like that as well.
But in the meantime I think you can solve this yourself. You have to amend the my example with the importexcel node and you’ll need some list sorting.
There are lots of ideas in the forum as well, if you have trouble with other nodes.
Great, thank you! I’ll keep posting in this thread sth about my progresses in solving this task (it’s my very first experience with Dynamo, I’d rather should say with Civil3D ), so pls let’s keep in touch
Hi, I’m again on this thread, I couldn’t work on it until now, so here I’m again asking for a little help as a newbie.
I tried to make your same steps, but I obtain the warnings/errors on the picture below. You have any idea on the reason why my “Corridors” node is different from yours or why my “Corridor.Baselines” node doesn’t accept the input corridor from my “Corridors” and “Selection.Corridor.Byname” nodes (This operation on featured-based basline is invalid)?
Thank you
I get it, but which is the solution for that issue? Sorry, but I’m a newbie, pls be patient
