I am new to Dynamo and was looking to see if I could use it to import information from an excel document into civil 3d for an existing pipe network. I would like to import inverts of pipes, pipe sizes, and inlet characteristics. Trying to bring old computations into civil 3d to make profiles much easier. A push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @mmcelhaney,

Welcome! This is definitely doable and has been discussed a few times on the forum. I recommend checking out these links and seeing if it gives you a starting point.

Import gravity network into Civil 3d

Hi there, I posted into a Civil 3d forum if it was possible to import a gravity network into Civil 3d and apparently is possible to do it with Dynamo. I normally get the data information from an external software and then I put all the network information by hand, which is a tedius job because sometimes I need to amend something and I have to change everything again, so what I was wondering if it was possible to import an excel sheet with CL, IL, coordinates, diameter, etc. and make the gravit…

Dynamo not pushing correct pipe data to Civil3D

Once again I feel like I am at the end of my journey on a script, but then one little item falls apart… I have two Dynamo runs that pull data from an Excel spreadsheet and push it into Civil3D. Run A is set up to where I select an individual pipe and it pulls in design data from the spreadsheet – it works like a champ. Granted there are multiple clicks, but it works. However, in Run B the user selects a pipe in a network, and Dynamo populates a list of those parts and pairs them up with flowli…

Thank you so much! Not sure how I missed these posts. Looking forward to playing around with this more.

anyone has new .dyn file works in Civil 3d 2023 which allow me to bring Structure and Pipe network in Civil 3D please. Also if someone had .dyn which allow me to update information from excel for pipe invert. Sorry in advance i have no knoweld of Dynamo yet
