Dynamo Overall

Dynamo for Civil 3D can help users in a number of ways. Users can save time in plan productions by creating point labels for corridors and feature lines. Users can also create Keys or Legends based on the information contained in their drawings.

Dynamo can help to automate routine and repetitive tasks like creating access ramps for site development or roadway corridors. Users can streamline the creation of cogo point groups and quickly & easily add descriptions. Users can also revise pipe networks or connection details using input parameters that can be utilized on multiple projects.

Dynamo can extremely useful in making design decisions. Users can quickly process complex tasks and evaluate the results. The scripts can be re-processed over and over to create the desired optimized solution. Objects created by Dynamo will be placed with precision-based around drawing elements such as corridors, surfaces, or features lines.

Design coordination can be simplified with Dynamo. Users can utilize external files from other civil disciplines and import the data into a complete model. Users can add property set data to the design objects according to BIM requirements. Users can also extract property set data to create reports or spreadsheets.

Scripts can be set up to read surface data and quickly create subsurface or solid layers such as base and subbase materials. Users can then quickly determine volumes and quantities.

Using these tools, users can create clearance envelopes based on vehicle parameters and identify conflict areas and clearance requirements.

Dynamo for Civil 3D can help users save time, optimize designs, and make better design decisions.

Good morning, I greet you from Peru, I am working on a river defense project and the PKT for the solutions have been generated, but I want to extract the solids from them to measure quantities with dynamo, could you help me with this?

How or where can I get the concrete tie placement script? Thank you.

[CoreyCharlick]

Is the script for the curb ramps available publicly? If so, where can it be found?

[deesesarte]

I'm looking for a tutorial that can help me achieve this process in dynamo
