Victor introduces the Dynamo BIM from zero to hero course, outlines sections, videos, and work files, and highlights hands-on exercises plus a section on solving a complex problem from examples.
Explore Dynamo's visual programming by linking graphical nodes to convert inputs into points and distances, producing outputs, and running inside Revit with versions 2020.2 and 2.3, plus community resources.
Basic concepts. Create understanding of simple lists and multi-dimensional lists.
Explore Dynamo BIM lacing: connect point lists using cross product and shortest or longest rules to create coordinates and note networks, and troubleshoot coincident points.
Creating a field of squares based on a two-dimensional list of points
Learn to extract white and black chessboard squares using list logic in Dynamo: take every end item, adjust offsets, and use levels to separate alternating sublists.
Explore how to color a two-dimensional, fully parametric list in dynamo by cycling every second item with an offset and grouping sublists to form chessboard-like squares on the canvas.
Create Revit levels from an Excel file using Dynamo, importing sheet data and mapping elevations and names with list operations and level by elevation at name.
Discover the basic principles of geometry in Dynamo BIM, focusing on points and their coordinates as the foundation of all objects, with Dynamo and rivet workflows.
Learn to generate a sine wave curve in Dynamo BIM by creating a point sequence, applying sine and cosine, and shaping the curve with degree and curve by points.
Build a sine wave surface in Dynamo by feeding a grid of points, translating them in z, and using transposes, lofts, and simple math to generate a complex surface.
Learn to place families in Revit using the user interface, specify coordinates and hosts for furniture, walls, windows, and floors, and explore these techniques in Dynamo.
Place a family instance by point in Dynamo using coordinates, level and rotation controls, offset from host, and elevation from level, with examples using planting and furniture families.
Learn to export window data from Dynamo to Excel, capturing element location, surface coordinates, and type names, and organize results in a customizable spreadsheet.
Map Excel data into Dynamo to place windows on a wall, importing lists, selecting surface coordinates, and shaping points through surfaces by controlling normals and curve directions.
Learn to generate floors from external data in Dynamo by linking a CAD file, extracting outline curves, grouping and aligning curves to levels, and constructing floor geometry.
Learn the principles of adaptive components in Dynamo, creating components by points or by parameter on curves and surfaces, linking to family types and morphing with geometry via UV parameters.
Rename and renumber sheets in a Dynamo project by extracting sheet data, applying project-based naming conventions, and using string operations to format sheet numbers and names.
Overview of a Dynamo Graph that loads multiple CAD files in a Revit Project.
Overview of a complex Dynamo graph that creates Key Plans sheets. Thought process behind it and use.
My problem solving routine. How I approach and solve problems with Dynamo in particular, but also in general.
Overview of a script that unfolds walls. Starting a new similar script from Scratch. Applying the problem solving routine.
Explore the Dynamo 2.13 update for Revit 2023, featuring a redesigned UI, a new Dynamo menu, improved notes and watch notes, enhanced grouping, and smarter graph properties.
Learn to deploy Dynamo scripts at scale in Revit using Monica Tab Pro, with a 12-button toolbar, profiles, scheduling, and data analytics built into the toolbar.
Dynamo from Zero to Hero is a course that teaches everything you need to know to start using Dynamo immediately on various tasks in the daily work of a Revit user.
We start with basics and build skills on top of that until we finish with an overview and breakdown of complex Dynamo graphs. A part of the course I am really proud of teaches how to approach and solve problems with Dynamo.
The course is delivered in numerous examples with the idea that the student follows along. Exercise files are provided with almost every lecture.
Ideally, every lecture should be viewed as an assignment. Don't go to the next one until you have tried yourself what is shown. That way you can keep up with the new information and not get overwhelmed.
We're touching on various applications of Dynamo and I believe this is the best way to learn - to see how a certain principle applies in different situations.
I've been teaching that course in person for 20 hours. Here it is presented in 10 hours of video. You can pause, try out each step yourself and then continue.
The course is intense, but you're covered. You can ask questions here on Udemy or in our special Facebook group.
Note!!!
Now you can get a free license for the Nonica Tab plugin that allows you to run Dynamo graphs from dedicated buttons in Revit's ribbon menu. For more information you can check out section 10 - Nonica Masterclass.
