Hello guys!
I’m not so expert in civil 3D (far from that) however I’m trying to manipulate property sets in dynamo, so in that way I can export data in an IFC file, my question is if there is a way to get valeus from volume dashboard in dynamo, so then I can set properties in extend data to export in the IFC.
I am not sure if that data is available.
In the next version of Arkance Systems Node Library there will be a node for bounded volumes calculation, so you can mimic the volume dashboard.
You can use:
.GetVolumeProperties()
on a database object, volume surface, in a python node. See my post here:
You can get the numeric values and assign them to property sets for your export. If you need any assistance and are willing to share any files I’d be happy to help.
I’m trying to use this pyhton in many surfaces at same time, however a error occurs, does this happens because this python just runs one surface per time?
What is the error?
If it is telling you the list has no attributes named … You have to loop through the input surfaces.
Sorry it was only set up for a single volume surface. Here is a solution for all surfaces with a name containing an input string.

Which Civil3D/Dynamo version do i need for this package?
2023
2022.1 or 2022.1.1
2021.3
2020.6 or 2020.6.1
