Your vids are superb and a massive help. I like how your processes and approaches are clear and effective for professional practice, which imo is rare on RU-vid...
Thanks Connor, glad you like the presentation approach and content - I try to keep my teaching professionally grounded, it was a big motivator behind the channel originally and continues to be!
Great tutorial, thanks Gavin, could you advise how to draw model lines on a surface, for example: I'd like to add a single line on each steps of a stadium auditorium ( so that later I will add seating base on those lines)
You would need to pick the face of the element as your workplane before drawing the model line, or edit the line's workplane after it has been drawn at a different plane.
I have made an almost identical script to your road to topo extrapolation except I gather interior points. Is there a reason you have chosen not to gather interior points for higher precision of the road surface contours? I have found it helpful on large parking areas and sloped drives.
@@AussieBIMGuru Fair enough. I did see the video was from a few years ago. Some of your other scripts are more in depth so I was curious if you had a deeper reason. Keep up the good work!
Great content as always ! I have a problem that I have tried for few days but no luck so far. I am trying to put equal points on a topography by dynamo (on X and Y axis, Z points to lie on the topo's level) , so that I can put family on those points. However, I am stucked at the stage where I extracted polysurface. I cant turn the polysurface into single surface where I can use point on Parameter to insert the point (even if I use this method, I can only use UV on surface instead of XY). What would you suggest me to solve it? And I think topography with dynamo is an interesting and useful topic for your viewers, especially beginner. Thanks heaps mate !
Thanks, I agree, could be a useful topic! To solve your problem, place a set of points in the XY plane, convert your topo to a surface or polysurface, extend vertical lines from the points as curves, then intersect them with the surface. This should give you the points by Z at these preset XY locations.
@@AussieBIMGuru Yeah right ! Why haven't I thought of that ! I really need to encourage myself to think out of the box. Just another question, is there anyway that i can convert multiple surfaces (polysurface) to single surface? Thanks !
@@xjphang yes i believe the explode node might work. There should also be a 'polysurface to surfaces' node I think. Still don't have dynamo so can't confirm unfortunately!
Hey Thanks for video! Its very helpfull .But ı have question :how could he look like that at the end?How's the Diagram effect?I tried to change the graphics settings, but I couldn't get the same graphics and same looking :(
@@immi85 i haven't used it too much but it looked to be able to help a bit. Ultimately I think Infraworks may become a better option, and ideally architects wouldn't have to model site context if more civil engineers used 3D models.
Hi Sir after watching this video I'm working another topographic plan but when i come to Dynamo and i open the file why it not take the file and give an Error massage , help me Sir
@@ajendrakumar6419 it sounds like the file will not be recoverable. Usually a corrupt file is caused by loss of data. Depending on your Dynamo versions too you might be in a version too low to open the script.
Unfortunately I no longer have this code, lost is in some file corruptions on my harddrive. I have a lot of other videos for dynamo in detail, as well as all the scripts that survived on my github.
