Civil 3D Commands

Reference of the commands exposed by GeoDin® Ground in Civil 3D. Most are reachable from the GeoDin® Ground ribbon; all can be invoked from the command line by typing the command name.

Data source and selection

Command	What it does
GEODIN_DATABASE_SELECT_FILE	Selects a GeoDin® database file (.mdb / .accdb) from disk and registers it for use within Civil 3D.
GEODIN_SELECT_LOCATIONS	Opens the location selector to browse projects and boreholes inside the registered databases, and pick the ones to work with.

Drawing boreholes

Command	What it does
GEODIN_DRAW_BOREHOLES	Renders the selected boreholes as detailed 3D cylinders with lithological descriptions and annotations.
GEODIN_DRAW_BOREHOLES_BASIC	Renders the selected boreholes without lithological descriptions or annotations.
GEODIN_DRAW_BOREHOLES_OPT	Renders the selected boreholes with options to use lithological descriptions or ground units for section division.

Surfaces and volumes

Command	What it does
GEODIN_DRAW_SURFACES	Generates surfaces and solids based on the lithological layers of all currently loaded boreholes.
GEODIN_DRAW_SURFACES_FROM_SELECTION	Generates surfaces and solids based on the lithological layers of the boreholes selected in the drawing.
GEODIN_BUILD_VOLUMES	Builds 3D solid volumes between the generated surfaces.
DELETE_ALL_VOLUMES	Removes all volumes generated by GeoDin® Ground from the current drawing.

Virtual logs

Command	What it does
GEODIN_CREATE_VIRTUAL_LOG	Creates a virtual log with an empty stratigraphy — you enter the layers by hand. See Creating Virtual Logs.
GEODIN_CREATE_VIRTUAL_LOG_NEAREST_NEIGHBOUR	Creates a virtual log by copying the stratigraphy of the nearest real borehole. See Nearest Borehole.
GEODIN_CREATE_VIRTUAL_LOG_FROM_SURFACE_CONDITIONS	Creates a virtual log by sampling the currently generated ground model at the chosen location. See Surface Interpolation.

Documents

Command	What it does
GEODIN_OPEN_ALL_DOCUMENTS	Opens the GeoDin® Document Viewer with all documents available in the connected database.
GEODIN_OPEN_ALL_DOCUMENTS_OFFLINE	Opens the GeoDin® Document Viewer with all documents stored in Autodesk Construction Cloud.
GEODIN_OPEN_BOREHOLE_DOCUMENTS	Opens the GeoDin® Document Viewer with the documents attached to the selected boreholes.
GEODIN_OPEN_BOREHOLE_DOCUMENTS_OFFLINE	Opens the GeoDin® Document Viewer with the documents for the selected boreholes stored in Autodesk Construction Cloud.
