Autodesk Civil 3D vs. Dynamo BIM

Civil 3D is best suited for medium to large-scale projects, as it may be overkill for small projects. It is very efficient in design and drafting work, as well as creating reports. It also helps in creating surfaces using external data and building assemblies, as well as providing drainage for infrastructure projects. It can also provide outputs as DWG files to be directly used in the AutoCAD application.

Dynamo is the main tool for making BIM automation very well . By using Dyanmo our work take less time to complete. After correct Dynamo script applying in Revit most of the time work take less time to complete in a smart way . I think coding and Dyanmo will make a better combination in BIM field.

• We use this software for the optimal and advanced design of pipelines and complex structuring, or it can also be said that we use it mainly for a geotechnical model, due to its high definition of the large proportion of the works that are carried out through of this application, since the tasks that are used with Civil 3D require extreme patience, precision and a lot of time to develop a model in its entirety, but we managed to acquire all the necessary and strategic points, to establish and start the production of a prototype digitized in particular.
• Easy to export to normal AutoCAD or collaborate with most Autodesk products.
• Vehicle Turning Simulation and Stormwater analysis is great addition to the package. Ability to use the all familiar AutoCAD tools, as well as LISP and SCR to automate some processes is one of the greatest advantages of the software.

• I create a Dyanmo script for placing a light family in all over model in a single click with maintaining a standard.
• I can create a Dyanmo script for PDF creation of my all 2d sheets .
• I can create a Dyanmo script to cut my whole pipe in a standard pipe length in a single click .

• I think I need more experience in using Autodesk Civil 3D as it is a huge jump from the previous software that I had been using
• Some functions could take less steps to complete

• For making a dyanmo script we should do alot of work and I think this news to be smart.
• Dyanmo with navisworks is require
• Dynamo free tutorial is to be shared by company.

It is one of the most standard Designing and drafting tools for infrastructure projects and is the go-to for including it with the Autodesk ecosystem. Its strong collaboration with GIS and Other tools helps us to create a software workflow as a digital twin platform as well. The Drawings and plans generated can be easily imported into other applications, allowing for full control over the workflow.

They have a vast open community, which has helped us understand Autodesk Civil 3D from the beginning. They have provided many templates and tutorials videos to our team due to that we can learn every new feature from them. Autodesk Civil 3D has also helped us to interconnect all its software in an internal bridge, which helps us switch between software as we need.

As mentioned before, using Civil3D got its own pros such as creating different profiles that are interactive such if you change any level, the profile will be updated automatically while in AutoCAD you will suffer by updating them manually. In addition, creating models that also are interactive and help in clash detection for different utilities in a project.

I think Dyanmo is a basic to advance version of automation in BIM Industry so we choose Dynamo against any other software. Many of our people knows about the software so training of this software is become easy for organisation. On YouTube we have found many videos about Dyanmo. Most important it take less money and save very much time of our employees.

• positive: saved us time on setting up sheets/sheet set manager
• positive: saved time and effort on cutting profiles
• positive: saved us money on printing, since it is easy to bind the dgns it creates

• Positive impact is it will save our employees time to do his job
• It will create an automation in BIM industry
• Not take too much money for licence
