Optimización de proceso en proyectos de obra lineal: diseño y desarrollo de un plug-in avanzado para autocad y civil 3d

Abstract

The digital transformation of the AEC sector has significantly increased the complexity of managing linear infrastructure projects, where design, modeling, and documentation require high levels of technical and documentary coordination. Although tools like Autodesk Civil 3D have represented a significant advance by incorporating parametric models based on alignments, corridors, profiles, and surfaces, limitations persist in document production processes, especially in generating plans, customizing labels, configuring layouts, and extracting quantities. These restrictions hinder the adaptation of workflows to the specific needs of each project and affect compliance with increasingly demanding deadlines. This problem becomes even more relevant in BIM environments, where efficiency depends not only on intelligent modeling but also on the automation of repetitive tasks. Much of the professionals' time continues to be spent on operational activities of little strategic value, such as manually updating graphic and documentary information. This situation leads to productivity losses, increases the likelihood of human error, and causes additional costs associated with corrections and rework. Consequently, the incorporation of macros, scripts, routines, and complementary applications geared towards automation becomes a strategic necessity to optimize resources, improve the quality of deliverables, and increase the profitability of consulting firms dedicated to the development of infrastructure projects
