When using Civil 3D (or any AutoCAD based tool) there are multiple ways to automate repetitive tasks. Today we will be looking at two of them. These include Script files (.SCR) and simple LISP code (.LSP)
I chose these before jumping right to Dynamo or the Civil 3D API because Scripts and AutoLISP have been around for decades, there is a TON of information (sample code) online, and they are very easy to learn and use.
In short, wanted to leave you with something you could literally start experimenting with immediately after reading/watching the video.
In the 30 min presentation recording below, I walk through the creation of both interactive and fully automated tools. I also explore how these tools can be easily be applied to an entire folder of files using the Civil 3D Batch Save Utility.
