Hi @Paolo_Emilio_Serra1 , I have same issue with other users, could I change the structure (manhole) size by selecting the closest Width and Length? Or did I missing some trick to do so? Because I have a bunch of excel data that waiting to be imported.
Anyway, great thanks to your development, it’s really helpful for me on Civil 3D works. Cheers!
Hi, like I said, any file…
I had one rotine that moved pipes a fixed depth from a surface that took about 1h to run, I removed every node from the Toolkit replacing by IterisCivilDynamo and it went down to about 10s to run.
@deividsteffens I’m glad you found a way to solve it, just share your previous script and dataset if you really care about solving the issue you experienced with the Toolkit.
This is a prototype approach, since there are so many types of entities with different properties in the APIs it is more convenient to have a base object (e.g. ProfileEntity) and extract all the available parameters in a Dictionary. Caveats: the names of the parameters are not sorted alphabetically, not all the objects have the same parameters associated.
Benefits: it is easier to maintain and expand the Toolkit.
Here is a node that extracts the geometry entities associated to an Alignment leveraging the underlying AutoCAD entities. Spirals are converted in tessellated curves and that is what is what you get in Dynamo.
It is possible to apply a filter using a layer name.
For “C7.1 - Create Alignment”, is that the create alignment from polylines one that you posted earlier? We started moving away from that method because you can’t set the alignment type. We’ve moved toward creating empty alignments and using entity-based definitions.
