VOTE for AU2021 Class Proposals (deadline May 12th)

[KirkWM]

Hey All,
AU2021 is all digital and free for all this year so be sure go vote for class proposals you want to see at AU this year. Below are some proposals that have caught my eye along with my own submission. Comment below if you come across any more or submit your own which may interest our Dynamo for Civil 3D community.

• A Beginner’s Guide to Python and the .NET API In Dynamo for Civil 3D, by our regular contributor @zachri.jensen in walking you though using basic Python coding for accessing Civil 3D API using the Python node in Dynamo

• Leveraging Civil 3D Properties for Design and Collaboration Purposes by Stephen Walz @CADguy82 demonstrating how to prepare property set data using Dynamo for an IFC export

• Using Dynamo to automate the Sheet Set Manager by @AdammReilly as he demonstrates his custom Sheet Set Dynamo Package

• Generative design for optimizing landscape design with Dynamo in Civil 3D by Andreas Luka as he debuts advanced workflows between Refinery and Civil 3D using Dynamo for surface creation

• Dynamo Samples for Civil 3D by @KirkWM where I’d demonstrate interesting uses of Dynamo for Civil 3D like linking a pipe network to an alignment and, working with excel, and leveraging property sets

[david_licona]

There is a new proposal to add to the list :

• Scalable Dynamo use cases for Civil 3D at your fingertips by @david_licona and teaming up with @JowennLua and @mohamed.ahmed to publish use cases solutions specifically designed to be easy to use, scalable and ready to be integrated into your workflows.

[mzjensen]

Nice!

[JowennLua]

Another new proposal:

• Civil 3D Toolkit Dynamo Package - A Force to be Reckoned by @JowennLua focus on Civil 3D Toolkit Package.

[mzjensen]

That sounds awesome Paolo!

Hope we’ll get to see just how evil Ganon really is:

[KirkWM]

“embodied carbon content of each dungeon”

[jacob.small]

I can neither confirm nor deny that there is debate around the island dungeon having a penalty for it’s bridge or not. Opinions welcome, but will be discarded if incorrectly stating the bridge doesn’t count.

[WrightEngineering]

Omg this is great! Haha

[quaneckoFEX44]

My proposal about post-tensioning structure:
https://www.autodesk.com/autodesk-university/conference/proposal/Learning-Post-tensioning-structure-Revit-and-visual-programming

I will demonstrate in both Dynamo and Grasshopper (Dynamo will be the major). I saw here is calling votes for Civil3D, but my examples will have bridge and a nuclear station projects.

[KirkWM]

Here’s another:
Underground Utility GIS Features to Civil 3D Pipe Networks with Dynamo by Jae Kwon (@jae.kwon perhaps?) featuring creating pipe networks from imported GIS data using Dynamo.

[KirkWM]

And another:
Dynamo for Civil 3D: Automated Checks of open-format Road Design made easy by Elisa Ambrassa (@elisa.ambrassa perhaps?) demonstrating importing xml files and using Dynamo to perform design checks and report generation.

[jacob.small]

One from a talented group I have worked with at Populous: https://www.autodesk.com/autodesk-university/conference/proposal/2-Weeks-4-Hours-How-Populous-Built-Efficiency-Generative-Design

[WrightEngineering]

I was just thinking about this topic! I was messing around with the object data functionality of the civil toolkit to generate labels in civil 3d from my utility GIS layers and was wondering about conversion to pipe networks! Thanks for sharing.

[KirkWM]

Here’s another:
Automating a 3D As-Built Using Dynamo by Mark Jaffee, highlighting a case study that combines existing 2D as-built and 3D GPR data to create feature lines in Civil 3D.

[shahid.shaikh_C3D]

Hello All,

Any updates on this topic, in session catalog i can see very few classes/session on Dynamo for Civil 3D and unable to find all the above sessions discussed, even after searching with Author or topic name.

am I missing something ?

[jacob.small]

The session catalog is accurate.

[KirkWM]

Yeah the session list is a little smaller than I expected. Here are some related sessions that caught my eye:

Dynamo for Civil 3D:

• Optimize Road Design with Dynamo for Civil 3D and Generative Design (CES500103)
• Dynamo for Civil 3D: Automated Checks of Open-Format Road Design Made Easy (CES500114)
• Underground Utility GIS Features to Civil 3D Pipe Networks with Dynamo (CI500019)

Dynamo:

• Hidden Super Powers of Dynamo Part 2: Package Managers Assemble! (SD500027)
