Dynamo Office Hours
Jacob Small and special guest Zachri Jensen 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.

All of my attempts at using the API in Dynamo Python have just crashed my civil3d. I had no idea how to get info to or from objects and did not even know there was a difference between the dynamo and internal civil 3d objects. This has been absolutely game-changing and I would love to see more content like this in the future!

Fantastic content, please one more webinar with more Zach's complex examples 🙂

Zach Jensen, Please post more videos with examples like the volume surface properties you didn't get a chance to cover in this episode. The live demo is the most useful part of these!

Where can I find the presentation referenced at 34:30 that talked more about transactions?

Hello! Thank you for the video.
Could you tell me please where I can find information about .InternalDBObject & .UpgradeOpen() method? I didn't find it in documentation.
