BIM- Dynamo Elementary (Level 1)- Project Based

Compare Dynamo and Grasshopper to reveal each tool's strengths and limitations. Use Dynamo in Revit workflows to access element parameters, and use Grasshopper in Rhino workflows to create masses.

Compare coding and Dynamo by exploring package management, visual programming workflows, and building a script that separates odd and even numbers using lists, for each, and if conditions.

Discover how Dynamo's visual programming isolates evens and odds with boolean mask filters, and compare this approach to scripting, with guidance to start from Dynamo.

Discover how to install Dynamo with Revit (built in since 2017), access it via manage visual programming, and compare built-in and sandbox versions, including Dynamo Studio.

Explore Dynamo player and visual programming to browse, edit, preview, and run Dynamo graphs from a single dialog; learn to set inputs and edit parameters by name on model elements.

Explore the dynamo user interface, starting with files options to create new projects, open recent work, manage backups, and access the discussion forum and official website for learning resources.

Explore the Dynamo user interface, including visual programming, libraries and nodes, packages, and the Dynamo dictionary. Learn to navigate the workspace, search for nodes, and access samples and help.

Switch between graph and 3d backgrounds to view models, rotate and pan in 3d, and use manual mode to run projects and avoid crashes.

Export the 3d background as an image from Dynamo via the 3d preview option. Understand how Dynamo depends on the active Revit workspace and unit alignment.

Edit the Dynamo environment with undo, copy-paste, notes, and grouping to organize nodes. Color inputs and outputs, manage groups, and create custom nodes with names and categories.

Master node selection, alignment, and cleanup in Dynamo using select all, delete selected, align selection, and Ctrl+L to tidy the graph. Learn view options, connectors, and background preview.

Explore how Dynamo's documentation browser and read more links reveal error or warning details, and learn to manage missing docs, view workspace references, and install packages to resolve issues.

Explore how to search, filter, and install Dynamo packages, manage dependencies and warnings, fix invalid inputs, view loaded package nodes, and publish new packages for project workflows.

Explain the setting menu, including manual mode with yellow highlighted dependent nodes, run to apply changes, number and render precision, and geometry scaling with meter units.

Explore the setting menu to isolate selected geometry, show or hide edges, and preview bubbles. Manage node and package paths, enable experimental spline nodes, and leverage generative design in Dynamo.
