BIM Autodesk Revit Modeling From Zero with Dynamo 2.1

Navigate the Revit interface, template setup, and library downloads to start a new project with standard construction methods, proper units, and prepare for Dynamo integration.

Explore basic creation of elements in Revit using three methods: point, line, and area drawings to model walls, doors, windows, floors, ceilings, and roofs, with levels, properties, and Dynamo integration.

Explore the Dynamo interface for Revit modeling, open a new script, navigate the main menu, and use basic nodes and libraries to build geometry and manage project settings.

Explore the logic of interaction in Dynamo, starting with basic inputs and types, and progress to constructing geometry with points, vectors, lines, and decompose and compose connections.

Explore building and modifying geometry in Dynamo by using points, curves, lines, and vectors, then creating surfaces and solids via cross sections, lists, and translations.

Explore how to select and analyze Revit model elements in Dynamo. Learn to read geometry, locations, categories, and parameters, and to manipulate walls, floors, framing, and families.

Launch Dynamo packages, extract floor outlines to drive wall creation in Revit, adjust curve lists with flatten, set wall height and base level, and constrain to model levels.

Explore creating walls, floors, and other elements in revit using dynamo, using levels and elevations, outlining curves, translating geometry, and managing multiple elements with lists.

Develop framings in Dynamo by building a multi-level grid from model curves, converting lines to surfaces, and aligning columns and beams across levels using follow curves and join curves.

Create columns by intersecting lines and applying levels and elevations in a Dynamo workflow. Flatten lists, remove duplicates, and manage lacing to connect beams and columns.

Align columns to the grid by computing the rotation angle from vectors and applying Dynamo's set rotation to all columns, creating a consistent grid-driven layout.

Review Dynamo list operations, including generate list, create, and list join, and use range and sequence to generate points from zero to five.

Explore how dynamo enables Revit modeling through three user types, using packages and dynamo player to create elements, geometry, and topography while managing visibility and parameters.

Explore diverse Dynamo uses for infrastructure and topography, from anchors to surfaces. Learn to integrate data, run simulations, and apply generative design with Excel and CSV workflows.

Explore creating a Revit family using the generic model template, establish reference planes and dimensions, assign instance and type parameters, and build constrained extrusions that respond to changes.

Place Dynamo-driven family instances in Revit by loading a test family, setting parameters, and positioning points to create three-dimensional grid elements with color ranges.

Place Revit family instances along a line with correct rotation, using Dynamo to create curve points, compute segment lengths, and set rotation based on the curve orientation.
