Civil 3D Parameters
Parameters that hold references to Civil 3D objects so they can be passed between nodes.
Civil3d Alignment
Params › Civil3d
Holds a reference to a Civil 3D Alignment so it can be passed between nodes. An alignment defines the horizontal route of a road, rail line, channel or similar linear feature. Use this parameter to feed alignments into nodes that read their geometry, properties, profiles or entities, or to collect alignments you want to operate on.
- Represents: A Civil 3D Alignment (the horizontal centreline route of a linear design)
- Selection prompts: "Select a Civil3d Alignment" / "Select Civil3d Alignments"
Menu & behaviour
- Shows a preview of the referenced geometry in the Rhino viewport.
- Right-click to pick the object(s) directly in AutoCAD.
- Recomputes automatically when the referenced object changes in the document.

Civil3d Assembly
Params › Civil3d
Holds a reference to a Civil 3D Assembly so it can be passed between nodes. An assembly is the cross-sectional template (made up of subassemblies) that a corridor applies along its baseline to build a 3D model. Use this parameter to feed assemblies into nodes that read their properties or subassemblies, or that build corridors.
- Represents: A Civil 3D Assembly (the cross-section template used to build a corridor)
- Selection prompts: "Select a Civil3d Assembly" / "Select Civil3d Assemblies"
Menu & behaviour
- Shows a preview of the referenced geometry in the Rhino viewport.
- Right-click to pick the object(s) directly in AutoCAD.
- Recomputes automatically when the referenced object changes in the document.

Civil3d Corridor
Params › Civil3d
Holds a reference to a Civil 3D Corridor so it can be passed between nodes. A corridor is the 3D model produced by sweeping an assembly along one or more baselines (alignments and profiles), and it carries baselines, regions, feature lines and corridor surfaces. Use this parameter to feed corridors into nodes that read their properties or extract these sub-objects.
- Represents: A Civil 3D Corridor (the 3D model built from baselines and assemblies)
- Selection prompts: "Select a Civil3d Corridor" / "Select Civil3d Corridors"
Menu & behaviour
- Shows a preview of the referenced geometry in the Rhino viewport.
- Right-click to pick the object(s) directly in AutoCAD.
- Recomputes automatically when the referenced object changes in the document.

Civil3d Parcel
Params › Civil3d
Holds a reference to a Civil 3D Parcel so it can be passed between nodes. A parcel is a managed area of land (such as a lot or plot) bounded by parcel segments and belonging to a site. Use this parameter to feed parcels into nodes that read their properties or segments.
- Represents: A Civil 3D Parcel (a bounded area of land within a site)
- Selection prompts: "Select a Civil3d Parcel" / "Select Civil3d Parcels"
Menu & behaviour
- Shows a preview of the referenced geometry in the Rhino viewport.
- Right-click to pick the object(s) directly in AutoCAD.
- Recomputes automatically when the referenced object changes in the document.

Civil3d Profile
Params › Civil3d
Holds a reference to a Civil 3D Profile so it can be passed between nodes. A profile describes the vertical design (elevation along the route) of an alignment, made up of tangents, curves and parabolas. Use this parameter to feed profiles into nodes that read their properties or entities, or that build corridors and profile views.
- Represents: A Civil 3D Profile (the vertical elevation design along an alignment)
- Selection prompts: "Select a Civil3d Profile" / "Select Civil3d Profiles"
Menu & behaviour
- Shows a preview of the referenced geometry in the Rhino viewport.
- Right-click to pick the object(s) directly in AutoCAD.
- Recomputes automatically when the referenced object changes in the document.

Civil3d ProfileView
Params › Civil3d
Holds a reference to a Civil 3D Profile View so it can be passed between nodes. A profile view is the grid-style drawing that displays an alignment's profiles against station and elevation, together with its bands. Use this parameter to feed profile views into nodes that read their properties or bands.
- Represents: A Civil 3D Profile View (the station/elevation graph that displays profiles)
- Selection prompts: "Select a Civil3d ProfileView" / "Select Civil3d ProfileViews"
Menu & behaviour
- Shows a preview of the referenced geometry in the Rhino viewport.
- Right-click to pick the object(s) directly in AutoCAD.
- Recomputes automatically when the referenced object changes in the document.

Civil3d TIN Surface
Params › Civil3d
Holds a reference to a Civil 3D TIN Surface so it can be passed between nodes. A TIN surface is a triangulated terrain model built from points and breaklines that represents ground or design elevations. Use this parameter to feed surfaces into nodes that read their boundaries, breaklines, contours or style, or that build volume surfaces.
- Represents: A Civil 3D TIN Surface (a triangulated terrain or design surface)
- Selection prompts: "Select a Civil3d Surface" / "Select Civil3d Surfaces"
Menu & behaviour
- Shows a preview of the referenced geometry in the Rhino viewport.
- Right-click to pick the object(s) directly in AutoCAD.
- Recomputes automatically when the referenced object changes in the document.

Civil3d TIN Volume Surface
Params › Civil3d
Holds a reference to a Civil 3D TIN Volume Surface so it can be passed between nodes. A volume surface compares a base surface against a comparison surface to report cut, fill and net volumes between them. Use this parameter to feed volume surfaces into nodes that read their volume results or other properties.
- Represents: A Civil 3D TIN Volume Surface (the cut/fill comparison between two surfaces)
- Selection prompts: "Select a Civil3d Volume Surface" / "Select Civil3d Volume Surfaces"
Menu & behaviour
