Civil 3D Toolkit Feedback thread

So you are first converting the polycurve to a polyline and then converting that to a featureline? Is that because the Create method in the API requires an objectid?

Hi @Paolo_Emilio_Serra1, @safi.hage

I’m wondering if it would be possible to add a node to Set Cant on an alignement? Would need in input alignment, trackwidht, start station, first station with full cant, scond station with full cant, end station , applied cant, pivot type.

I’ll add it to the list

Добрый день!
Dear @Paolo_Emilio_Serra1 !
Is it possible to implement this in the Dynamo for Civil 3D?
I ask you to implement the ability to create “Saves a new view and manages its properties.” with the ability to define the “[View Manager]” properties -

  • Visual Style,
    -Camera X,
  • Camera Y;
  • Camera Z;
  • Target X;
  • Target Y;
    -Target Z;
    -Roll angle;
  • Height;
  • Width;
  • Perspective;
  • Lens Length (mm);
  • Field of View.
    With the subsequent export of the view in png, pdf format.
    In Dynamo for Revit
    There is such a function - node View.ExportAsImage

One other idea: it would be great to have a node to create and modify the rail lines…

Dear Paolo,
I’m using the TinSurfaceExtensions.Crop node from the Civil 3D Toolkit.
As there is no input to specify the “Mid-Ordinate Distance” parameter, with the default value, I end up obtaining a poor approach of the surface boudaries.

In order to get rid of this problem, before using the node, I have to convert arc into segments using a lisp. But in most of the case, Dynamo is sensitive to floating point calculations and it causes the famous “polycurve might be branching” error.
So please improve this node with the possibility to input the Mid-Ordinate Distance, otherwise it lose 80% of its usability.
Best regards!

@hai-dang.le, thanks for reaching out, I’m not going to implement what you are asking simply because the input is not present in the API function that performs the crop. In other words, it is your responsibility to create 80% better cropping entities before calling the node.

A good idea from @PankinAleksandr adding Block directly into tables, coming in the next release.

@Paolo_Emilio_Serra1,
So I got my Civil 3D updated to 2021 and have Dynamo 2.5.1 and am using the 1.1.10 toolkit. I am still getting the same error when I try and make solids from the surface.

@clarsenCNDZF how many triangles in the surfaces? more or less than 100k?
recently I’ve found an odd behavior with surfaces on the machine of a user when he updated to 2020.4, the solution was to reinstall his profile on the machine with his IT support.

@Paolo_Emilio_Serra1, 2 triangles. Just wanted to test out very simple surfaces to proof of concept something. I can talk with my IT and see if that fixes it.
