Dynamo for Civil 3D 2026.2 Release

Hey Dynamo for Civil 3D users :wave:

As of this morning, Civil 3D 2026.2 is now available, along with a bunch of Dynamo improvements! Here are the highlights in this release:

:cloud_with_rain: New nodes for drainage objects (ponds, channels, underground storage)
:sparkles: Dynamo Core 3.6 with new Node Autocomplete experience

And here’s a blog post with more information. Hope you enjoy!

I noticed the very smal output ports on a Code Block:

Is that as designed or do I miss something here?

As usual, all packages must be installed again and preferences are set to default, but the binding preferences are adopted from the previous version. Are they stored somewhere else, and is this new? I remember from previous updates that they were reset too.

Yes, Code Block output ports have been scaled down. Would be nice if all ports are the same scale.

And I also noticed strange behaviour then trying to drag wire and pan across graph - the drag wire command cancels.

Known issue with 3.6 that has been fixed in a future Dynamo release.

I just wanted to post this. I had a strange felling not being sure if it was like this before or is this new :sweat_smile: It’s not too comfy nonetheless.

Yes, that is by design. @achintya_bhat can provide more info if needed.

They are stored in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\C3D <year>\Dynamo\TraceDataConfig.json. No, this is not new.

I remember that those were overwritten in previous versions, but maybe I’m wrong.

Would be nice to hear the why behind the small ‘function‘ output ports :slight_smile:

@Anton_Huizinga This is by design as we made other improvements to code block to expose output port names. We went with this design so the output ports stay lined up with the actual line items. The alternative would’ve been bumping up the font size or adding more spacing in the code block, but that would’ve thrown off the layout of code blocks in existing graphs.

The good news is that you’re getting more info now: instead of just seeing an arrow for code block outputs, you’ll see the actual variable name or output type (string, list, function, range, etc.). It should make things feel a lot clearer as you wire things together.

Hey Zach, Just updated to 2026.2 and get this error message when running Dynamo player. 2026.1 everything was fine. Ideas? Running with Win 11.

Hi @TABlouir,

I am not able to reproduce. Let’s start a DM so we can discuss your specific setup.

I also noticed that graphs I used to edit on C3D 2026.1 with no crashing on C3D 2026.2 crash. I tried editing these graphs also on 2025.2.3 and this workspace is stable with same graphs. In my case it seems that problem occurs at panning.

Hi @markus.toon,

Feel free to send me a DM with the problem graphs, a screen recording, and any CER report IDs so we can take a look.
