Creating a Parametric Beam System in Revit by Using Dynamo

[@RebelDog77]

This has really helped. Thank you. The information here has really helped my understanding of Dynamo.

Welcome dear Jason

Thank you so much Firas for your efforts !! your videos are amazing !!

Thanks dear

This is great Sir you are so kind to share your knowledge with us thank you

Always welcomed dear

Thanks for the lesson Firas

You are welcomed dear

I know im very late but do you know of a way i can create multiple stories of this beam column system?

[@JoEJOe-hc2dp]

Hellow. teacher. Thank you for your mail. How can I make your customnode, especially fist node - Grid of points [not Flatten] node and last node - horizontal line node, vertical line node in Grid of points to horizontal and vertical Line. Grid of points [not Flatten] node, horizontal line node and vertical line node are packages? Thank you so much.

[@FirasNoori]

hello dear, I am sorry to delay, I had to study all videos again related to the automated structural design to understand your question, I show at the end part of the video the custom node in detail but within the function mode, the node you are asking is a custom node I designed, not a package, and I can make a special video to show you in details how to make custom node and make the example the (Horizontal and Vertical line maker), I do appreciate if you can wait for me till next week as I am not home, I am in a conference and I will be back next week, I will make a video there as I have no equipment neither a recording room in my current location. Sorry again for the delay Cheers Firas S. Noori Hint: you can open a normal Dynamo file and repeat all my nodes collection that I showed in this video except the (input and the Output ones), select all your nodes and then got to EDIT menu > Create Custome Node, this will create a Custom Node for you, and in the Custome Node Mode you will find there the (Input and the OutPut nodes) save your work and close Dynamo and open it again you will find the Custom node loaded into your side menu :)

[@alimustafa3885]

well done explanation, could you make a video for duct opening in structural elements? why when I use dynamo script my Revit file becomes heavier? could we import elements with real coordinates?

[@FirasNoori]

Thanks Ali, for ducts video, I guess I can make one, I am a bit busy making a new detail Dynamo course, but I will do my best to. And yes, dynamo might cause delay in Revit, and you need to be careful what to choose in Dynamo, by not making lots of iterations or by removing the auto button, do not choose complex geometries making and expect it to work fast, as Dynamo goes really slow special if it real time build and change Revit element, try to reduce Dynamo to way process unless it is very required

[@FirasNoori]

And yes, you can import Revit element into Dynamo and use their real coordinate, I have 2 or 3 videos in this channel showing that

[@sebastian4492]

Hi, Great video, i want know if you can make a video explaining how to make this type parametric estructure but implementing a "rotation" like the twisted tower. I tried to to make the estructure with curve lines but it didnt work.

[@FirasNoori]

Hi dear, there 2 structural method used in twisted geometries, first is to use columns and means match the twisted geo, and the other find the common plan area between all the different plans and placing columns ,leaving the uncovered parts as cantilevered, which one you want?

[@sebastian4492]

@@FirasNoori I think the first one, colums that match the geometry.

[@JoEJOe-hc2dp]

Sorry, I still don't know. I pressed small checkbox. but Grid of points [not Flatten] node and vertical Lines node, horizontal Lines node appered. so, How does the three nodes make?

[@FirasNoori]

Email me the nodes plz

[@mustafakoyuncu0]

Hi Sir , Iam new to dynamo and I am trying to make your videos but ı failed to grids point horizontal and vertical,especially grid of point [ Not flatten ] .How can ı get or find this node ?

[@FirasNoori]

Hi, send me ur dynamo file plz [e-mail]

[@FirasNoori]

And also is it dynamo 2 or 1 you are working with?

[@mustafakoyuncu0]

I use dynamo 2.0.3 also i fixed this problem your another video about custom node.Thanks a lot!

[@FirasNoori]

Sorry for my delay, as you know we all in the rush of the current world health issue, stay safe dear and always welcomed

[@ImranShaikh-su1nh]

how do i repeat this frame structure at different levels ? For example applying the columns and beams at diffferent levels. When i change the level in strucutral.columntype.bycurve it doesnt happen.

[@FirasNoori]

Did you try to make your input as a list instead of single input as I did, for example instead of level 1, use a list [level 1, level 2, level 3]..... Check and tell me Cheers

[@ImranShaikh-su1nh]

@@FirasNoori yes thanks a lot it worked. Making a list of different levels. But i had to use copy element option. And i imputed the list into it in the level input

[@FirasNoori]

Exactly, you can copy or you can make the beam and in the same time use list of inputs, same, well done mate

[@JoEJOe-hc2dp]

Hellow. Thank you for your lecture. I have a questions. How to does it make the Grids of Points not flatten node, Vertical lines node and Horizontal node. If possible, can you send my e-mail a this dynamo file ?

[@JoEJOe-hc2dp]

I don't know how to does it make the Grids of Points not flatten node. I tried to many times. But failed. Please, teaching me. Thank you

[@FirasNoori]

I am sorry for the delay in Replay, I am in continuous travel for conferences, and I rarely find a time to open the laptop, I will return to ur questions in more details when I get back home, but I bet that Dynamo 2.0 has done some changes in FLATTEN node, try to use the Flatten function instead or just use the withing flatten tool within the same node by pressing the small checkbox on the node itself, sorry again for the delay, I am still far away from home

[@JoEJOe-hc2dp]

I am comfused about the transpose part。

[@FirasNoori]

Hi dear, imagine you have a list made of the row and columns and you need to make all the columns instead the rows, (0) A B (1) A B (2) A B Transpose will make it (A) 0 1 2 (B) 0 1 2 It is powerful to flip verticals to horizontals
