Civil 3D Toolkit Feedback thread

“This takes us closer to being able to create Corridors and start to seriously think about Generative Design workflows for transportation in Civil 3D”. Any change creating corridors from Featurelines will also be in place by then? Based on a layername I could generate Feature Lines from 3D polylines at once already. From there, creating corridors from Featurelines and alter the applied subassemblies would I think add to a great value.

Good afternoon!
Please pay attention to the following question and feature:
That script files are opened without blocking - read / write. Any user can open and edit the script file.
It should be?

Good Day. I’m new here. I’m learning Dynamo since June 2020. Also, I have no knowledge regarding Civil 3d API.

I just want to ask how to use Parcel.ByObject node. Is it the same as the one in the Create Design Panel of Civil3d?

I’m trying to create Parcels from polylines but error appears in relation to data types. I can’t see any node to convert the data types from polyline to civil object or from autocad object to civil object. Warnings as shown in the image.
(Since I’m new, I’m only limited in uploading 1 image so I combined 3 images into 1. )

Hi Paolo,

Hope you are well.

Getting UDP(User-Defined Property) values works a treat, it has now become part of our workflow to export CSV from our Civil 3D file for further processing.

I’m having difficulties implementing the reverse process - feeding UDP back into Civil 3D.

It’s a pretty straightforward process of reading CSV, matchinig values by Point Number and then Setting values to CoGo points, but for some reason it is returning nulls and no values are getting modified.

I recreated it in a testing file and simplified a script to convey the message. (txt file has to be renamed to csv for the script to pick it up). Files attached.

I hope it’s not a bug and it’s me doing something wrong although similar script for feeding Point Elevations from CSV does work.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

@srinzon “ByObject” in this context means Parcel object from AutoCAD. There are no nodes to create Parcel segments in the Toolkit

Thanks @Paolo_Emilio_Serra1. I guess, I can’t use that node for now. :slight_smile:

hello i am new to civil 3d and Dynamo with civil 3d Toolkit nodes. So maybe the questions are silly sorry.

Can someone tell me how i can fill the created 3d solid between two surfaces with color and materials? Which layer is suitable here?

Hi @Paolo_Emilio_Serra1, are catchment nodes on roadmap for the toolkit? I found that the Object.Geometry could also use an update for catchments. Thanks!

Hi @Paolo_Emilio_Serra1. I noticed some bugs using the Featureline.ByPolyCurve node. I made a script for getting the geometry of parcels in the form of featurelines. I don’t know why but some of my polycurves are not perfectly converted to featurelines as they do not follow the the shape of the polycurves.

Attached are the dynamo scripts and the dwg file that I’m working on.

@srinzon every time someone writes “bug” I will ignore the message unless the log file in the temp folder is provided (read up), besides I cannot reproduce the error.
