What other people have built.
This site started as my own catalog. If you have built something with AI-assisted development and want it shown here, I would like to see it.
This is not a submission form. It is an email, and a short list of what I need before I can publish anything here.
What to send
- Your name, and how you would like to be credited.
- What you built, in a few sentences: what it does, and what it replaced.
- A link, if there is one to share: a repo, a write-up, a video, whatever fits.
- A line saying I have your permission to display this here. Without that line, I will not publish it.
Be Better! ...tell me what you built.
What's been shared
Topo Symbol Palettes
Reads a survey team's master block file and generates six Civil 3D tool palettes of topo symbols, grouped by what a surveyor actually picks up in the field, with each icon redrawn at its plotted size and made annotative, instead of typing INSERT, browsing to a master drawing, and guessing the scale factor for every valve and hydrant.

C3D Subassembly Catalog
A searchable, filterable catalog of Civil 3D corridor subassemblies, organized by what an engineer actually places rather than Autodesk's palette structure, with diagrams and capability columns per item.

Crash Error Report Monitoring and Dashboard
A background app that catches Civil 3D crashes on every machine, pulls the relevant Windows Event Log data, and pushes it to a shared folder, paired with a dashboard that shows every crash report and a one-click button to hand the data to Claude for analysis.

DUMPSTYLES Navigator
Loads a Civil 3D DUMPSTYLESANDSETTINGS export and makes it actually searchable, browsing and filtering thousands of styles and settings instead of scrolling a raw text dump.

C3D ARG Migration Skill
A Claude skill that takes a company's current .arg file plus a new Civil 3D release, and produces an updated .arg carrying the old customizations forward onto that release's paths.

Batch Alignments from Polylines
Select multiple polylines and create all of their Civil 3D alignments in a single command, instead of running Create Alignment from Objects one at a time.
