Lynda Dynamo Essential Training

Autodesk Dynamo allows Revit users to build custom tools to solve their modeling challenges in smarter, faster ways. You can generate algorithms to analyze data, read and edit data from outside sources, create geometry in Dynamo itself, or edit the geometry in Revit files all using Dynamo’s node-based visual language. This training course helps you understand the basic programming concepts behind Dynamo and the extension through the lens of architectural modeling. Ian Siegel shows how to construct data-driven geometry, analyze relationships between Revit elements, and incorporate data into the BIM environment from multiple non-Revit sources and formats, including Excel and digital images. Plus, learn techniques that reduce modeling and documentation time in Revit: placing families and components, adjusting parameter values, and more.

Topics include:

Placing and connecting Dynamo nodes
Understanding Dynamo’s data types
Performing math functions
Creating number lists and text strings
Writing data to an Excel spreadsheet
Creating points, curves, surfaces, and solids
Analyzing geometry Linking a Dynamo-driven SAT into Revit
Placing Revit families with Dynamo
Creating Revit views and sheets with Dynamo
