Generating profile views for multiple alignments at once

[MUDASSAR.IQBALFD8WJ]

Hi Civil 3D Crew!
I’m currently working on a massive new city development project with an extensive network of roads. My daily workflow involves juggling numerous alignments, surfaces, and their profiles, which can be quite time-consuming.

I’m reaching out to see if anyone has a Dynamo script for:

Generating profile views for multiple alignments at once:

This would be a major time-saver compared to manually generating individual profiles for each alignment.
Creating surface profiles on multiple alignments:

Bonus points if it lets me choose profile labels and styles! For example, showing natural ground in green without labels and proposed roads in red with labels.

Any helpful Dynamos or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Hi and Welcome.
Agree with @hosneyalaa, check the search function. That’s really great and let you find any shared graphs.
Then I recommend you to read the ”How to get help” thread.

How to get help on the Dynamo forums

One of the main goals of the Dynamo community is to help others. One way to do that is by answering your questions. But to get the right answer, you’ll first have to ask your question in the right way. Although people are generally very helpful, there are things you can do to improve your chances of getting good and quick answers. Below you will find some suggestions on how to achieve that. Do not think of these suggestions as rules and especially do not take them as a guarantee of getting an an…

Hey everyone, thanks for the search suggestions!
I checked the forum’s search, but what I found mostly helps with making separate profile views for different parts of the same road. That’s cool, but not quite what I need.
I’m not actually trying to split up a single alignment into multiple views. I have 10 separate alignments , and I’m hoping to generate profile views for all of them at once , not split them across sheets. Ideally, I’d like them all neatly displayed in separate views.

Create Multiple Alignments From Polylines

For @Ernest.Villanueva - see original post here: Here’s an example of creating multiple alignments from polylines. This will require the Civil 3D Toolkit package. CreateAlignments.dwg (401.6 KB) CreateAlignments.dyn (46.3 KB) MultipleCorridors.xlsx (8.8 KB) [CreateAlignments]

Create Surface Profiles for Multiple Alignments

Create Design Profiles for Multiple Alignments

For @Ernest.Villanueva. See original post here. Here is an example of creating design profiles for multiple alignments. It will create a simple profile that matches the EG elevations at the start and end of the alignment, i.e. this is not a script for optimizing a vertical profile. It just reduces the effort of creating several profiles and requires manual modification afterwards to add PVIs, vertical curves, etc. as appropriate. Note that this will require the Civil 3D Toolkit package. Crea…

Create Profile Views for Multiple Alignments

For @Ernest.Villanueva. See original post here. Attached is an example for creating profile views for multiple alignments. There is some Python code to prompt the user for an insertion point, and then options for changing the number of rows, number of columns, and spacing between each, as well as if the views are arranged from bottom-to-top or top-to-bottom. Note that the Civil 3D Toolkit package is required. CreateProfileViews.dwg (786.9 KB) CreateProfileViews.dyn (70.6 KB) MultipleCorrid…
