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.
Dynamo extends building information modeling with the data and logic. Learn from our community of architects, engineers, programmers, and designers.
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. Voiceover Hi there. My name's Ian Siegel, and I'm thrilled to be introducing you to the world of visual programming in Dynamo. To kick things off, we'll look at what Dynamo is, and how it tends to plug into the design and building information modeling or BIM process.
After covering some basic programming concepts, we'll put those techniques to work by learning how to import and manage different types of information in Dynamo. From there, we'll dive into computational 3-D design and construct geometry that's driven by Dynamo data. To tie it all together, we'll finish out the course by extending our workflows into a Revit project, placing various types of Revit families, reading and changing parameters, and creating new project views and sheets.By the time we're finished, you'll have a strong foundation for working more efficiently, accurately, and powerfully in your day to day project work. I hope you're as excited as I am. Let's get started with Dynamo.
