SOLIDOS has an API for Dynamo and Visual Lisp, which allows the creation of objects, as well as the manipulation of properties

***EXPERIMENTAL VERSION***, bugs are expected!

To use the API in Dynamo, you need to load it in the Dynamo editor. Access the Dynamo/Preferences menu:

In the screen that opens, click the Add Path button:

And locate the folder with the correct package for your version of Civil 3D:

In the example I am using Civil 3D 2025, so I choose the SOLIDOS.bundle/Dynamo/2025/ folder.
