Now, those industries use computer software to help architects and engineers visualize what their creations will look like before they’re brought to life.
Began making simple graphs that manipulated Revit data in 2015 and started trying to help out on here and sharing workflows.In the early days of architecture and engineering, drafters would draw building blueprints and machine models by hand. These classes showed parameter manipulation in Revit. What really enlightened me was classes Practically Dynamo and Dynamo for Dummies. Attended AU2014 and took pretty much all Dynamo classes. (Primer, dictionary and forum were not really how they are today though) I had no clue what to do and all the nodes turned red and all sorts of other disasters. I opened it and closed it immediately because it scared me. (This only applies if Revit is your use-case of course!) this Might tick the Autodesker’s off, but I still think Dynamo’s main use case is within Revit, so having an understanding of Revit essentials is very important, pretty much what Revit bullets state. Learned Revit first (3-4 years of Revit use) Achieved an intermediate/advanced level of knowledge. The only thing to really understand a tool however, whatever it is, is to practice, and practice, and practice! If I were you, I’ll focus on Revit first, via online training, books, blog posts, then Dynamo.Īnyway, this forum has plenty of examples and lots of professionals who will help you to solve the most common issues.
Otherwise you’ll find yourself struggling to understand each of the tools. I am not trying to scare you but because you said that you’re new both with Revit and Dynamo, probably you want to keep learning the Revit basics, than starting to create you’re first scripts in Dynamo. If you’re answer to those question is YES so probably you’re ready to “level-up” with Dynamo! Do you know what a number, a string, a boolean and a list are?.Do you know what the project base point is?.Do you know what Type and Instance parameters are?.I started using Dynamo 2 years ago more or less, after using Revit for 7 years and now I can say “I understand something” about Dynamo I am speaking on behalf of my experience and I think you’ll probably need some Revit knowledge in order to better understand how Dynamo works.
