Learn Dynamo - Lesson 1: Getting Started & User Interface

[@adamhancock8374]

Thanks, I have been trying to use Dynamo on and off for years, this really covered some things that I was missing! will be watching more.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rawrawrfied]

Just wanna say thanks for all the tutorials you uploaded. It's really helpful for people in the industry. I studied architecture in Sydney and somebody with your specialty is greatly needed in the Universities

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Thanks for the kind words! I'm pleased to say that I just finished teaching my first semester in BIM at USyd, it was great to teach a class all about BIM before they enter the industry.

[@rawrawrfied]

@@AussieBIMGuru Great to hear that , graduated from UTS myself and I think it would be beneficial for students to learn more about BIM in architecture related courses

I have finished my first lesson and everything is very clear for me as beginner, great job man, thank you

Brilliant, you're most welcome. Congratulations!

Great explanation, I wanted a tutorial that places the floor following the topography.

Hi Aussie, can you do a video on the top packages used in Dynamo like lunchbox, clockwork, etc & also their functions? thanks

[@AussieBIMGuru]

I'll add it to the list in new year - in the meantime there's a really useful list here: primer.dynamobim.org/Appendix/A-3_packages.html

Thanks. Great content.

[@tanjirahmed3046]

@@AussieBIMGuru Do I need python to master the Dynamo?

[@AussieBIMGuru]

@@tanjirahmed3046 it all depends on what you want to use Dynamo for and whether you can get enough value for custom packages by others. I would say if you aren't sure what you need python for specifically then it isnt time for you to need it in your learning journey. I learnt dynamo for 2 years before i needed any python.

[@theophillusngubane7732]

Thank you

[@AussieBIMGuru]

You're welcome

[@mavs013]

I wonder why I should learn to code in oder to use revit API,cause there are so many great packages out there.I don't think I could code better than them I‘ve learned a bit but seldom use it cause the node which alread exists can solve a lot problems I met.But I will learn eventually as long as I got plenty of time and it can be useful and more efficient.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

It depends on whether you wish to make more customized code and addins or tools for pyrevit i think. Deploying packages across companies is also quite challenging so that is often why many stop using as many custom packages in the end. Personally I began for that reason but also came to find that Python could do things more directly and quickly in a lot of cases versus nodes. Iteration is much easier than getting list levels to achieve complex outcomes sometimes also.

Hi, I learned a lot from your lecture. I have a favor to ask of you. I am Korean. So is it okay to refer to your video and make it in Korean? I'm going to make a video out of reference. Let me introduce your channel.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

You're welcome to use my content as inpsiration for creating your own for korean speaking viewers with reference, although I encourage you to add your own twist to it.

[@archi_tender5191]

@@AussieBIMGuru Thank you. I understood your advice. First, explain where you got the advice before starting I will make my own content. The second creation

[@AussieBIMGuru]

@@archi_tender5191 notes in video description is OK too, I moreso just want to see you make it your own too in some way, that way it is something you can also take some pride and ownership in too :)

I am a BIM technician for an Electrical Contractor and use Revit everyday. I really want to learn Dynamo but recently heard that its being discontinued....is this true?

[@AussieBIMGuru]

As far as I know Dynamo is here to to stay!

[@ShadowRin567]

Hey, I’m using revit 2021 and just access dynamo from there but my page looks differently from yours, I couldn’t see like the coordinate system, and when I was trying to use a + node I couldn’t see the result after connecting it with the watch node. Do you know what I might be doing wrong ?😅

[@AussieBIMGuru]

I used R19 and Dynamo 2.0.3 so there will be a few small differences here and there most likely. The coordinate grid might be off, check if its enabled under the view settings. If a + node isn't returning a value to a watch node, make sure it has the inputs connected and that you are in automatic mode or have hit 'run' in manual mode.

[@ShadowRin567]

Aussie BIM Guru hey, thank you for getting back to me, mine is in manual mode, so that’s why it didn’t show the result in the watch mode. It says it’s on, but it doesn’t look like yours.

[@ShadowRin567]

Aussie BIM Guru it doesn’t show it in 3D only 2D

[@AussieBIMGuru]

@@ShadowRin567 hrm it might have changed a bit in r21 - I still use r20 currently. Feel free to email me a screenshot to help compare.

[@rhandel13]

Dynamo Home Screen does not turn on when I press dynamo in the manage tab. I can run it separately but I don’t see it updating in Revit.

[@simongray6572]

Hi ABG, great Video's mate...just sinking my teeth into Dynamo...question... is it normal when adding a package too dynamo, both Revit & Dynamo crash? I'm installing all the custom packages in your recommendations from this Vid and its crashed about 5 times on a few various packages....

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Thanks Simon, welcome to the journey into Dynamo and visual coding! It's typically not normal, although in older versions of Dynamo (1.3.4, 0.9 etc.) and for less supported packages (not updated for 6 months or more) there can be instability. I always recommend working and learning in version 2.0.3 (prior to 2020) or 2.3 in 2020 (although it's locked to the version, 2020.2.1 provides Dynamo 2.3). Typically on my channel I avoid unsupported packages wherever possible. Supported and useful packages include archilab, clockwork, springs, orchid and data shapes.

when i type any valve in coad bloc 1 value appear and I cant make list by coad block

[@AussieBIMGuru]

To make a list in a code block you need to surround your code in square brackets ( [ ] ).
