Dynamo is an open-source visual programming platform that is integrated with Autodesk Revit and can be used to automate repetitive tasks, create custom functionality, and access data within Revit. To create a Dynamo script, you will need to follow these steps:
-
Install Dynamo: To use Dynamo, you will need to download and install it on your computer. You can download the latest version of Dynamo from the official website ( https://dynamobim.org/download/ ).
-
Launch Dynamo: After installing Dynamo, you can launch it from the start menu or the desktop shortcut.
-
Create a new script: To create a new Dynamo script, click the "New" button in the toolbar or go to the "File" menu and select "New." This will open a new canvas where you can begin building your script.
-
Add nodes: Nodes are the building blocks of Dynamo scripts. To add nodes to your script, you can either drag them from the library or search for them using the search box.
-
Connect the nodes: To create a script, you will need to connect the nodes together using wires. To do this, click and drag the output port of one node to the input port of another node.
-
Set the input and output parameters: Each node has input and output parameters that you can set to define the behavior of the node. You can set the input parameters by double-clicking the node and entering the desired values.
-
Run the script: When you are finished building your script, you can run it by clicking the "Run" button in the toolbar or pressing the "F5" key.
