Dynamo for Revit Overview: Automated Task

Artificial Intelligence has made huge strides in our world by automating several repetitive tasks and freeing resources to work on other activities.

Automation is also available to construction professionals in the form of “Dynamo for Revit” automating repetitive tasks in design!

Dynamo is a software that puts you in the driver’s seat providing you complete control over the tools you use. With Dynamo you can literally make your computer work for you instead of pointing and clicking repeatedly!

What is Dynamo for Revit?

Dynamo is software for visual programming that works with Revit. It is an ideal tool for architects, designers, and engineers because it offers them access to Revit API(Application Programming Interface)

How does Dynamo work?

• Dynamo comprises “nodes” that can perform specific tasks. Nodes are manipulated to create specific programs instead of coding.

• Each node has inputs and outputs.

• The output of a node is wired to the input of another.

• The program flows from one node to the other through the wired network.

• The final output is represented graphically in the form of essential steps for the end design.

The reusability feature of Dynamo makes it easy to use the tool. It has a library of nodes that can be used for performing tasks. Therefore, you do not need to remember the coding for a task. Besides Dynamo users can create node libraries and add them in a central repository making it available to other users. These node libraries can also be specific to a discipline.

Benefits of using Dynamo

• Dynamo can automate several repetitive tasks not only saving effort but also reducing time.

• Dynamo simplifies data-specific tasks. It not only facilitates creating schedules but also combining data from various categories.

• Dynamo also functions as a design tool enabling you to generate several design options by simply encoding generative design rules in the computational framework.

• You can simulate building performance at various stages of construction with the help of Dynamo. This facilitates testing the performance of the structure in the real-life environment.

• Dynamo helps you encode the workflow thereby making each step easy to evaluate, revise, and improve.

Revit releases new versions of Dynamo every year with enhanced features.

Let us see what Dynamo 2020 has in store for us:

• Path of travel feature that automatically calculates the shortest path between two points.

• You can import PDF files in Revit with the help of an “Import PDF tool.”

• Revit 2020 has the elliptical wall feature integrated into it.

• You can copy legends from one sheet to another.

• You can choose specific parameters by assigning OR rule to specific categories.

• Revit 2020 includes 104 new appearance assets in its library.

• Older versions of Dynamo are not compatible with Revit 2020 as Dynamo is directly integrated into Revit.

Top Dynamo packages are:

• Archi-lab • Clockwork • Data-shapes • Lunchbox • Rhythm
