Welcome to Importing and Exporting Data
00:02
Inside Dynamo for Civil 3D.

My name is Stacy Morykin, Design Technology Manager.
00:08
Importing and exporting data saves time
00:10
and eliminates manual uploads, by allowing users
00:13
to seamlessly integrate data from third-party data sources,
00:17
and also extract that data from Dynamo for use
00:20
by other systems.
00:22
Course overview-- this course covers four objectives,
00:25
starting with importing data from an external source,
00:29
like a CSV file.
00:31
Data lives everywhere and comes in many different formats.
00:34
This lesson showcases importing a CSV file
00:37
containing Coggle point information,
00:40
and provides the first glimpse at how
00:42
organizing data upon import can impact functions
00:45
applied throughout the graph.
00:48
We will then parse the information imported,
00:50
using two different methods--
00:52
available nodes in the Dynamo library and a customized code
00:56
block.
00:57
The pros and cons of each method are also discussed.
01:01
In the third lesson, list nodes to organize data is reviewed.
01:05
We will separate data into individual lists,
01:08
combine several lists into one, and transpose
01:12
in preparation for exporting.
01:16
Lastly, we will export the organized data to an Excel
01:19
spreadsheet, using the node.
01:21
Each input port of this node is discussed at length,
01:24
with tips and tricks discovered during the process.
01:28
The final product in Excel format
01:30
can then be utilized by other systems.
01:34
The individual lessons in this workflow are as follows.
01:37
We will first import a CSV file containing point data.
01:41
We'll parse that imported data to apply functions.
01:45
We'll organize data in preparation
01:47
for exporting, and finally exporting
01:50
that data to an Excel document.
01:53
Follow along with me, as we begin this course
01:55
on importing and exporting data inside Dynamo for Civil 3D.
