Dynamo Shorts - Ep002 - Numbering Elements

[@curtisridenour]

Dana, these videos are great. I am very impressed and looking forward to learning more about how to leverage Dynamo and the Dynamo Player at our firm. What I find really funny is how you call the 30 min videos SHORTS!!! It is a commentary on Revit/Dynamo that nothing is simple. It takes effort and time to automate some of these simple tasks.

[@BIMmeup]

Great overview, Dana! You really have a good pace and great way of explaining the logic behind Dynamo! Looking forward to the next episodes! :)

[@AymenHumoodi]

Really amazing, thanks a lot, I will be addicted to this channel

[@tharindadissanayake6346]

This is great. Helped me to identify a root issue of a script I am developing. Thanks and all the best!

[@DanamoBIM]

Thanks for the feedback!!

[@mbilalgoker]

I love how you explain everything in detail and give some tips and tricks! Keep up the good work Dana!

[@aznaczya]

This is super helpful! I've spent hours, just a few weeks ago, to figure out a very similar problem on my own. Will definitely check out re-writing it using Dictionaries - now that I know what they are. Finally Dynamo videos with just the right pace, showcasing just the right kind of every day problems to tackle. Go Dana!

[@DanamoBIM]

thanks for watching and feedback, Kamil!!!! happy you are finding the videos useful! (:

[@ajanovicfaruk]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, i can edit this into any family + parameter that i need and its amazing. Thank you again

[@carlostdcjr]

Very useful! Worked perfectly on numbering pipe fittings/accessories grouped by system types, the explanation has very didactic and straightforward. Great video!

[@revitcleaner]

Can I see your schedule ! Many tks

[@ahmednasr7588]

Very big thanks, I’m searching for this content for a while 😊

[@olgalisichkina7235]

Thank u for ur contant. I find the explanation very helpful and logic.

[@carloswojahn7090]

Great overview, Dana!! Please, can you make something similar with unique elements inside an assembly?

[@andreacorredor4526]

Hi Dana, Thank you this is great!!! Can you please teach us how to add the order in which the numbering will start and end? Thanks

[@eastudio-K]

Nice breakdown thank you, I’m use to seeing you with Jeff/revit kid. Will check out the rest of your content

[@rezwanulhoque117]

Excellent work.

[@belalfarzi407]

Many thanks. I really love your contents Dana. ❤️❤️❤️

[@dennishopper1388]

Thanks. Have you demonstrated the Object Type node? Great for figuring out errors.

[@CarlosGutierrez-cm9mh]

Dana, I do appreciate how you teach these classes. Could you number these elements by coordinates? For example, in the Floor Plan VIEW, arrange from left-down towards the right-up sequence. Thanks again.🙏

[@VanDynamoPlayer]

How did it order them though on the plan? Sorry skipped through if that was in there. Dictionary explanation was great.

[@yasmineahamed4733]

very useful thank you

[@namulondosarah6191]

Excellent video, but mostly how you used the Dictionary. Thank you

[@guhsk81]

Could you make a video showing how to make the structural frame nomenclature by level (following this order -> starting from top to bottom and then from left to right) and structural pillars by level as well, starting from the upper left corner (following this order -> from left to right) ?

[@schneiderfassaden621]

Hi Dana, Thank you very much for sharing these videos with us I found them extremely helpful and clear! I have one question for you actually. When you use a sequency like in this script you can´t really decide where is the element 001 and when it will end the sequence. It looks like it follows an alphabetic order (?) is out there a way that you can decide your 01_001 object and keep numbering the obj clockwise along all the level? Mayber is there another video of your that i missed? or some other feature in revit? Thank you again, and keep up the good work!! :)))

[@DanamoBIM]

its actually sorting them based on the order in which they were created. take a look at this video to sort elements :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJiXmp9rYp1_o7s

[@nickinpol]

Hi, this is really helpful to sort by levels but as you know, tags must follow a direction. Can you please direct me how to add a spline to it? As in if we draw the spline and integrate its first intersection with each door instance and make the naming follow those points? I know it can be done but as a beginner I am totally clueless and stuck with a big file at college. If you could share the script for it or teach me the method to integrate this in your existing script it would mean a lot. Thank you!

[@DenisGromovBIM]

Very useful!

[@borun67]

thank you.🙏🙏🙏

[@iamgandI1986]

Schedules are my favorite thing... after dynamo

[@DanamoBIM]

Likewise Alex!!!

[@VanDynamoPlayer]

What's the value in string padding stuff? I'm always unsure to do it or not. Particularly with doors, windows, rooms. I usually just have a point between the level prefix and number. D1.1 but should I be doing D1.01? Do people just like it in schedules or something?

[@DanamoBIM]

It is best to keep the same amount of characters, given the worst case scenario - so if your numbering goes up to Z99.99 I would use D01.01. Hope that helps!

[@aethylwulfeiii6502]

Whenever my bosses see me working in dynamo they think I am crazy and working on nothing.

[@HARICSNAIR]

I WAS traying in to a Structural column numberig with these nodes but Not,, cand you please ☹explaing me

[@nadavbensimon]

Good morning my name is nadav and I'm from Israel watch your episode 2 on the KZbin and I want to ask you a question if you could help me please to build the same schedule but instead to use a category I want to use a walk set to schedule all the opening that I have I would appreciate if you can help me thank you very much

[@graphikeye]

Great video but it feels unnecessarily complicated.
