Jacob Small and special guest Zachri Jensen jump head first into Civil 3D's API! Exploring overarching concepts such as "What is an API" and API navigation, before getting particular about Dynamo's interaction with the Civil 3D API around unwrapping; when is a think a Dynamo thing, or a Civil 3D thing, and Transactions; How do I commit things into Civil 3D. We'll then get particular with Object Collectors, and casting between Civil 3D and Dynamo types.

Hi!

Excellent session, very good content in this presentation, thank you all for sharing this knowledge.

I have one question though: when working with Civil 3D 2021, the default python engine in dynamo is the ironpython2.7. Is it possible to change for cpython3? During the presentation, I got the impression that we can run both engines in previous versions of Dynamo/Civil3D. However, I can't find a way to change the engine in this version.

Thanks!
