Civil 3D Toolkit Feedback thread

Hi @keith.sowinski @Anton_Huizinga

Is this what you’re trying to get?

I was hard to tell with the gif speed, but I don’t think I saw an input for parts list.

Here is a slow GIF with input parts list :slight_smile:

Is that done with custom nodes or python? Willing to share?

1 Like

Yes it is done in Python.

Sorry I can’t share this one. It is just to let know that Dynamo can do almost all the things :slight_smile:

I respect your rejection to share your script but what is the point to show that it is possible? We already know we can do anything in Dynamo with Python or C# programming.

Hi @Paolo_Emilio_Serra1

Hope you’re doing well,

I’m trying to insert 3D dynamic block using BlockReference.Create. It places on the correct location but not as dynamic. Is this a bug or do we have another node to place dynamic block?

Thanks,

Edit: Solved I was using wrong block name. Sorry to bother.

HI @Paolo_Emilio_Serra1
i’m trying to work with GIS data, inserting by SHP connection
The idea is to get geometry of map, and its attributes.
But something went wrong. where is my mistake?Home.dyn (28.2 KB)

@PankinAleksandr can you please share the log file you have in your temp folder? In the meantime can you confirm that MapLayer.GetFeaturesBySaptialFilter() is working (that you have a list of MapFeature objects)? In case you do, you need to call the MapFeature.Geometry() to see the geometry in the Dynamo environment.

To everybody, who will use MAP3D nodes.
you need to check 3 steps, after that everything work properly.

First: Geometry Working Range is set to Medium
Second: you have to setup the Coordinate System in the Civil 3D drawing Settings
Third: try all the possible Spatial Operations: depending on the database some of them will not work

thanks @Paolo_Emilio_Serra1

This would be very helpful. Workflow that I have in mind:

  1. Extract dynamically linked feature lines from the corridor (I don’t think we can do this in dynamo with what is available.)
  2. Create a TIN surface (I think we could do this with the create TIN Surface from cogo points group node and use an empty point group)
  3. Add the dynamically linked corridor feature lines to the TIN surface. (I don’t see how to do this yet with what is available)

Hi @Paolo_Emilio_Serra1 , is it possible to change the structure part size by selecting the closest width and length now? Seems the node of “InnerDimension” is only able to detect the width value or am I doing something wrong with the nodes?
Sorry and thanks for answering.

There are methods in the API to add link code (CorridorSurface.AddLinkCode Method) or corridor featurelines (CorridorSurface.AddFeatureLineCode Method) to the corridor surface which require minimal arguments to execute.

Yes. I did this with python. I posted because I thought it would be a useful addition to the toolkit. However I’ve gotten the impression that they aren’t looking for new node suggestions anymore.

Attached are two python scripts if anyone wants to use then. One creates empty corridor surfaces and the other adds feature lines and links to the corridor surface definitions.
AddFeatureLinesLinksToCrdrSurf.txt (3.0 KB) CreateCorridorSurfaces.txt (2.6 KB)

@keith.sowinski Your impression is wrong and I keep track of all the requests. Just so you know, I’m just swamped with work, I’ve started an internal project to ask others in Autodesk to collaborate on the maintenance / development of this package, it should get rolling in the coming days but there is a rump up period for them too. I’m glad I “forced” you into Python, now you don’t have to wait for anyone else, well done.

Hi @Paolo_Emilio_Serra1,

Excellent thread you have created here. Lot’s of goodies in this thread alone. I’ll try to catch up with you next week. :grinning:

@keith.sowinski, Nice to see your python script above. Thank you for sharing and please keep on sending ideas here as we will collate and work on them.

Cheers,
Jowenn

Fixed in 1.0.17, now the if can swap parts from a part lists not assigned to the Pipe Network properties.
