VOTE for AU2022 Class Proposals (deadline April 25th)

[KirkWM]

Hey All,
AU2022 is back to in-person BUT is in New Orleans, not Las Vegas so keep that in mind. Now is our opportunity to vote for class proposals you want to see at AU this year (or if you’re lucky, recorded for later). Below are some proposals that have caught my eye and if you come across any more, or new ones, or submit your own, which may interest our Dynamo for Civil 3D community, please comment it below. All proposals are due by April 15th and community voting ends on April 25th.

• A Beginner’s Guide to Python Scripting in Dynamo for Civil 3D, by our regular contributor @mzjensen in walking you though using basic Python coding for accessing Civil 3D API using the Python node in Dynamo

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

• Boost Your Civil 3D Proficiency With Beginner Dynamo Knowledge as an introduction to Dynamo for Civil 3D

• Automated Walls Using Civil 3D: From Manual to Dynamo to API Solution, (by @BrentBurgess1980 perhaps?) a walk through a development process of automating wall design using Dynamo vs API workflows

• I Shipped My Scripts - Awesome Strategies for Sharing Dynamo Graphs by Dynamo Admin @john_pierson about good script management

Update 2022-03-28

• Mundane Tasks to Automate Using Dynamo for Civil 3D, follow up lecture to Stacey’s popular hands-on lab at AU2019

Update 2022-03-30

• Optioneering site design with Dynamo for Civil 3D: a quick study guide, by @marshmallow, and using Generative Design software with Dynamo and Civil 3D!

• Fostering Computational Culture, about creating a environment of innovation through training and measure of success

• How to save 60-70% of time by automating daily tasks in AEC collection, lots of hacks from a BIM Engineer in AutoCAD/C3D and Revit.

• Mind the (Talent) Gap: Computational Approach to Bridge the Talent Gap, Industry Talk by @astephen ?, about computational thinking and the future workforce.

• Dynamo - Our small firm’s journey from 0 to 60, by Sebastien Dubois, about their journey implementing Dynamo and utilizing Power BI for tracking progress.

• Computational Kickoffs 101, about how to start a project off on the right foot for using computational strategies

• Use AI, Python3 and C# inside Dynamo to Automate Bridge design processes, by @Ramiz.mohareb, on using advanced workflows for bridge design

Update 2022-04-08

• Automatic BIM budgeting in Civil 3D: a real case study, by Halan Oliveira, connecting Civil 3D QTO manager to budgeting software with Dynamo

• An alternative to get runoff coefficients automatically, by Halan Oliveira, using Dynamo to create Civil 3D catchments.

• How to use all Civil 3D Rail Capabilities, by @david_licona just as it sounds but also wrapping up with a little quality control with Dynamo

• Tunnel Damage Risk Assessment (TunDRA) Automation with Dynamo and Civil 3D, by @brian.boye, using Dynamo to calculate ground settlement risks and displaying data within Civil 3D

• The Magic Wand for VDC in Infrastructure - Dynamo for Civil 3D by Frederic Classon focusing on virtual design and construction.

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

Would love to see more dynamo in the asset management space!

• A Beginner’s Guide to Python Scripting in Dynamo for Civil 3D, by our regular contributor @mzjensen in walking you though using basic Python coding for accessing Civil 3D API using the Python node in Dynamo

Really crossing my fingers on this one!!!

@KirkWM

• Una guía para principiantes sobre las secuencias de comandos de Python en Dynamo para Civil 3D , por nuestro colaborador habitual@mzjensenal guiarlo a través del uso de la codificación básica de Python para acceder a la API de Civil 3D mediante el nodo de Python en Dynamo

One of the best themes!!!

[KirkWM]

@jacob.small can you pin this for a while?

[jacob.small]

Pinned globally, and no longer in the ‘Civil 3D’ as the full set of proposals will be a good bit bigger than any one industry, and we should be learning Dynamo stuff across the boarders of our specialties.

I hope to have a parsed list to share at some point soon.

[KirkWM]

Thanks Jacob.

@jacob.small

True, and I did look at the full Dynamo list and looked for more general topics and that’s why I included John’s class; but, if you are still parsing it out still so members can find more Civil 3D oriented classes that’d be great.

@jacob.small and I also submitted one on Getting all Stairry Eyed in Dynamo too

[Thomas_Mahon]

I’ve just dropped this one:

Rhino Inside Revit for Revit addin development: Why devs SHOULD be using it
https://www.autodesk.com/autodesk-university/conference/proposal/RhinoInsideRevit-Revit-addin-development-Why-devs-SHOULD-be-using-it?conference_id=21&status=1

Go vote! I look forward to seeing everyone there

[MyNguyen]

Hi all,

I would like to add this interesting case study as well:

Why Dynamo is a game changer for design automation of quay wall structures

https://www.autodesk.com/autodesk-university/conference/proposal/Why-Dynamo-game-changer-design-automation-quay-wall-structures?conference_id=21&status=1

[jacob.small]

This is my proposal which aims to teach attendees a good formwork to build and maintain Dynamo graphs and the underlaying content (ie: packages). We’ll provide some insight from Autodesk support on the common issues found and their solutions (me), development expertise from the Dynamo team directly on node development issues (@Aaron_Tang), and from Autodesk consulting (Alvaro Luna who’s super incognito on the forum) on best practices when building graphs used by not one or two users but entire companies with global footprints.
