Practical Dynamo for Revit (w/Aussie BIM Guru)

[@DesignTechUnraveled]

Wanted to throw it out there, for archi-lab's feature of relays. You can disable that feature by removing the file, `archilabViewExtension_ViewExtensionDefinition.xml` from the extra folder in the package directory.

Awesome, thanks for sharing the tip John!

Cheers Christopher! Hope you're doing well.

Awesome chat guys! Always glad to see all this Dynamo-ey goodness

[@TheRevitKid]

Can't talk Dynamo without mentioning John Pierson.... Doesn't matter who is on the show! ;)

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Cheers John!

If I may offer up a tip for new dynamo users to keep your scripts a bit organized: create groups and use CTRL+L to get things aligned before grouping them. It doesn’t do a great job…and the alignment tools I monocle are even better. But! This is a very quick and simple way to keep things clean. Also very important when learning dynamo!!!

[@TheRevitKid]

Thanks for the tip!

you mentioned about not being able to use EXCEL with dynamo. we had this issue, you just need to reinstall office and it will work. I was relieved and annoyed by this solution haha. hope it works for you :) Great session thanks guys.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Yep a repair does the trick! Still a nightmare im a big company with IT permissions and a busy IT group haha

[@amybeckenham]

@@AussieBIMGuru ah yes. Convincing IT is a particular art form for sure 🙂

Those scripts are insane! Really helpful material and amazing video. #incodewetrust 👍🏻

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Glad you liked em!

Awesome. I've been using Dynamo for some super basic stuff like copying offsets, deleting comments etc, but I'd like to make sheet script he had shown. Dynamo is cool but sadly I don't have time to experiment with it, let alone learn Python.

[@TheRevitKid]

Be sure to check out Gavin’s GitHub for full scripts you can download and look at! It helps when figuring out how they work!

[@prezlamen7906]

@@TheRevitKid Thanks man, will do. Holidays are coming so I'll have some time to play with it and hopefully learn to make some stuff i need for plumbing.

[@prezlamen7906]

@@TheRevitKid Just a quick Q without looking at github, is this script for sheets posted there? That's the one i need to use the most for now and it seems like a big challenge to understand and remake from scratch.

[@prezlamen7906]

@@TheRevitKid No need to answer, i found his video where he builds it. That'd be a good start. Thanks man. Love your content.

[@TheRevitKid]

Cheers, I am sure Gavin will stumble on this comment and answer!

I love getting tips particularly about Revit but I have to say the background music at the start of this part of the show is too loud, makes it difficult to hear you, the important part!

[@TheRevitKid]

John, thanks! Yes! Sorry about that... It's a live show and I am the "producer" and host... I realized after the fact the background music was being fed twice through the live stream so it came out much louder to you then it did to me!!! I will re-post the tips with better editing at a later date. Cheers!!
