Is There a Market for Civil 3D in Automating and Designing with Dynamo?

We have some content you can learn from that is Civil 3D specific :slight_smile:

  • Start with the Dynamo Primer Civil 3D Section
  • Then move on to the Dynamo Office Hours series in this order:
    • Getting Civil with Dynamo - Join Sol and Jacob as we dive into the Dynamo for Civil 3D connection; exploring how this relationship is a two-way street, the differences in UI that support a smooth DynamoCivil experience, dive into the Library and additional nodes that Civil 3D brings to the table, and then traverse how to get data into Dynamo from Civil 3D, and push data back into Civil 3D from Dynamo.
    • Getting More Civil with Dynamo - Sol, Jacob and special guest @david_licona dove deeper into the Dynamo and Civil 3D connection, plumbing the depths of Element Binding; where it’s stored, why it’s needed, and how to use it. We’ll then explore Transactions and Documents, finding out what they are, how to navigate them and their nuance, before deeply understanding Civil 3D’s Blocks, such as Model and Paper Space, and how Dynamo interacts with them. We’ll finish the session by touching upon the update process of nodes; when do they refresh, fetch new data and how to avoid infinite loops.
    • Dynamo and Civil 3D’s API - Jacob Small and special guest @mzjensen jump head first into Civil 3D’s API! Exploring overarching concepts such as “What is an API” and API navigation, before getting particular about Dynamo’s interaction with the Civil 3D API around unwrapping; when is a think a Dynamo thing, or a Civil 3D thing, and Transactions; How do I commit things into Civil 3D. We’ll then get particular with Object Collectors, and casting between Civil 3D and Dynamo types.
    • Going with the Flow - Come join Jacob, Sol and special guest @david_licona as we dive deep into pipe networks in Civil 3D. We will explore what a Pipe Network is and their types, the vocabulary surrounding them, browse the Parts libraries and explore Pipe network pieces, and touch upon associated objects such as surfaces and alignments. We’ll then discuss how to create, modify Pipe networks and explore their properties before jumping into Exporting, Analysis and finally a few hot tips around their limitations and differences.
    • Where on Earth is your Project? - Come join Sol, Jacob and special guest @Anton_Huizinga as we read GIS data into Dynamo in Civil 3D. Starting out with a refresh on Pipe Networks, we’ll explore how the Camber package can help reading in proposed Pipe Networks, how to create a buffer around a this network, how to import a KML file from Google Earth and find all trees within that buffer zone that need to be removed before updating the Property Set Data and adding a table into the drawing via the Arkance Systems package. Come explore the world of GIS with us through the lens of Dynamo!
    • Blocking It Out - How to create custom geometry blocks in Autodesk Civil 3D with Dynamo and guest host @mzjensen
