Go to Primer Dictionary A community powered, comprehensive reference to the functionality and utility of every node in Dynamo. Use the Dynamo Dictionary as a quick reference or an in-depth guide to extend your skills and empower your graphs. Go to Dictionary Developer Dynamo hosts a thriving ecosystem for Development. This page takes you down the rabbit hole of all of the tools available for customizing your Dynamo experience. From top-to-bottom, we’ll start with the ‘out-of-the-box’ options and go deeper as we progress down the page. Go to Developer Resources Video Tutorial Introductory Tutorials for Dynamo 2.13+ The Introductory Tutorial videos reflect the visually refreshed Dynamo from versions 2.13 onwards, including new graph authoring features. If you are using Dynamo versions 2.0 to 2.12, then please refer to our Introduction to Dynamo (2.0 to 2.12) Youtube playlist. DataSets Dynamo (2.0 to 2.12) Video Tutorials Getting Situated with Dynamo In this course, we will provide an in-depth overview of Dynamo, a visual programming plugin for designers. We’ll look at the node system and interoperability workflows to integrate computational design capabilities into your design workflows. Getting Situated with DynamoThe Anatomy of a Dynamo Graph In this lesson, we will take a closer look at the specific elements used to create a Dynamo graph. By the end of this lesson, you will have an understanding of the components that comprise a Dynamo graph, the basics of defining an algorithm, and what it means to map together nodes to update results. The Anatomy of a Dynamo GraphAnnotating and Documenting Graphs: Groups and Notes In this lesson, we’re going to cover annotation strategies for your Dynamo graph. Annotating and cleaning up Dynamo graphs is a very important part of your Dynamo workflow. Specifically, if you’re looking to share your graphs with anyone else, you want to be very clear and concise as to what your graph is doing. Annotating and Documenting Graphs: Groups and NotesAnnotating and Documenting Graphs: Wire Interactions + Graph Properties In this lesson, we’re going to take a look at additional ways of cleaning up and documenting our Dynamo graphs. By the end of this lesson, you’re going to learn ways to interact with the wires of a Dynamo graph and take a look at further documentation strategies for serializing properties within our Dynamo graphs. Annotating and Documenting Graphs: Wire Interactions + Graph PropertiesData Management In this lesson, we will discuss the basic concepts of creating and working with lists in Dynamo. In Dynamo, we can have lists that contain data of varying lengths and depths. By the end of this lesson, you will have an understanding of list structure in Dynamo, you’ll know how to create a list of points, and you’ll have an understanding of what lacing is Data ManagementNested List Management In this lesson, we will explore concepts for how to manipulate lists and nested lists in Dynamo. By the end of this lesson, you’ll have an understanding of what a nested list is and how to obtain items within a nested list. Nested List ManagementComputational Logic In this lesson, we’re going to cover topics to create a graph with computational logic using an attractor algorithm. While an attractor algorithm sounds intimidating, it is simply a mathematical approach to driving geometry by proximity to any given point that is considered an attractor point. By the end of this lesson, you will reinforce your understanding of lacing, learn how to create an attractor algorithm, and learn new ways to interact with Dynamo geometry. Computational LogicConnecting Revit to Excel - Exporting Room Data In this lesson, we will look at the power behind connecting Dynamo within Revit to an external program, such as Excel, to be able to extract and manipulate data from the Revit environment. By the end of this lesson, you will have an understanding of how to collect Revit room data, how to prepare the data for export, and strategies for ensuring data remains consistent for the import process at a later time. Connecting Revit to Excel - Exporting Room DataConnecting Revit to Excel - Importing Room Data In this lesson, we will cover strategies for reading data from Excel and relating it to Revit elements. Specifically, we’re going to read corrected room names and update the related rooms in Revit. By the end of this lesson, you will know how to read Excel files with Dynamo, select Revit elements by their element ID, and update Revit element parameter values. Connecting Revit to Excel - Importing Room DataCode Blocks for Quick Data Entry and Object Creation In this lesson, we will look at code blocks in Dynamo. Code blocks are a unique feature in Dynamo that brings together visual programming with DesignScript. DesignScript is a text-based language for computational design. By the end of this lesson, you will know how to use code blocks for numerical entry, string entry, and sequence and ranges. Code Blocks for Quick Data Entry and Object CreationAdvanced Tutorials for Dynamo 1.X The Advanced Tutorial videos are legacy content that has been created for the Dynamo 1.X environment. Some of the nodes you will see in these videos have been changed or deprecated in subsequent releases. These legacy videos are posted here for educational purposes only and we have no plans to update any of these to the Dynamo 2.X environment. DataSets Custom Nodes Create custom functionality to reuse it. Note: This video uses Dynamo inside of the Revit application, but the workflow’s logic can be applied to any other application environment. Custom NodesUnit1: Introduction In this lesson we will introduce the building mass for the course, demonstrate its parametric flexibility, and explain the geometric applications of its parameters. This introduction will be entirely in Revit. Unit1: IntroductionUnit 1: Editing Elements in Revit In this lesson we will introduce the building mass for the course, demonstrate its parametric flexibility, and explain the geometric applications of its parameters. This introduction will be entirely in Revit. Unit 1: Editing Elements in RevitUnit 1: Editing Elements in Dynamo In this lesson we will edit building mass parameters from within the Dynamo environment. Run Automatically will be checked so the user can visualize a range of building mass options. Unit 1: Editing Elements in DynamoUnit 1: Editing Multiple Parameters In this lesson we will edit multiple parameters for the building mass in dynamo. In order to do this properly, we’ll introduce lists into our workflow. Lists will be a critical focus for the remainder of the lesson. Unit 1: Editing Multiple ParametersUnit 1: Editing with Formulas In this lesson we will set several parameters for our building mass in Dynamo. Without geometric constraints explicitly defined in the mass family, we will introduce numerical constraints to create new parameters. Formulas and conditional statements will also be introduced. Unit 1: Editing with FormulasUnit 2: Structural Framing - Part 1 In this lesson we will introduce Dynamo’s basic tools for adding Structural Framing Elements to a Revit document. The end result will be a linear array of beams across the atrium of our building mass. Part 1 of 2. Unit 2: Structural Framing - Part 1Unit 2: Structural Framing - Part 2 In this lesson we will introduce Dynamo’s basic tools for adding Structural Framing Elements to a Revit document. The end result will be a...
