How Green and Sustainable is my Civil 3D Infrastructure project?

By Partha Sarkar

This new
release of CIVIL 3D has a brand new API to evaluate how green and sustainable
is the new project which you are designing in Civil 3D. This Feature is
available only through .NET API. How do we use this API to evaluate my current
project ?

Here is a c#
code snippet –

Editor ed = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor;
CivilDocument cDoc = CivilApplication.ActiveDocument;
Database db = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database;      
 
using (Transaction trans = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
{
  try
  {
    GreenEvaluate checkGreenEvl = new GreenEvaluate();
 
    // Call GreenEvaluatation to compute the Green factor and
    // Sustainablility factor for the current CivilDocument
    checkGreenEvl.GreenEvaluatation(cDoc);
 
    // Check the Green factor and Sustainability factor
    ed.WriteMessage("nIs this Project Green ? :" + checkGreenEvl.GreenFactor.ToString());
    ed.WriteMessage("nIs this Project Sustainable  :" + checkGreenEvl.SustainableFactor.ToString());         
 
    trans.Commit();
  }
  catch (System.Exception ex)
  {
    ed.WriteMessage("nException: " + ex.Message);
  }       
 
}

If you have any
questions on this particular API, let's come back on the same day 'next year' to
discuss about this!

Have a nice day! :)
