CivilConnection
What is CivilConnection?
CivilConnection is an open-source Dynamo package that enables interoperability between Autodesk Civil 3D and Revit.
The package allows users to access Civil 3D objects directly from Dynamo, exchange geometry and metadata between Civil 3D and Revit, automate infrastructure workflows, and build custom BIM integrations.
CivilConnection acts as a bridge between infrastructure design and Building Information Modeling (BIM), enabling engineers, BIM specialists, and computational designers to work with both platforms in a unified workflows.
