Introduction1:20
Explore family creation with Dynamo for Revit, focusing on shapeshifting, testing, and parameter-driven families to fit requirements. Discover generative design possibilities, practical workflows, and custom nodes for solving construction problems.
Families Shape Shifting With Dynamo2:54
Learn to shapeshift Revit families with Dynamo to create adaptive, generic families and types for multiple instances and generative design.
Dynamo Basic SetUp2:51
Set up a new Revit model, configure units to meters, remove unused levels, open Dynamo, and install the latest packages to enable shapeshifting family creation and deploying new types.
Resources

Basic Assembly Creation10:15
Learn to create a flexible Revit family using genetic models, reference geometry, and associate parameters to generate shapeshifting table components with extrusions, sweeps, and material types.
Multiple Families Shifting10:32
Master creating and configuring multiple Revit families with parameters, adjusting thickness, height, and length for rectangles and circles, applying materials, and organizing types across different families.
Creating Sweep Element10:29
Create a sweep element by building a parametric Revit family with diagonal and front reference planes, constrained profiles, and a solid rectangle profile loaded into the project.
Adding Sweep Restrictions7:11
Modify a Revit family by adjusting height, width, and length, removing constraints, and applying sweep restrictions. Preview changes in 3D and assign materials like concrete or steel.
Adding Table Shape Shifting9:08
Learn to create face-based Revit table families with shape-shifting geometry using extrusion and thickness, circle and rectangle forms, and material-driven parameters constrained by reference planes.

Creating an Array Driven Element9:15
Create an array driven element by building a new family from a template, using center references and constraints to generate multiple shelves with controlled height and thickness.
Creationg Multiple Elements From Families5:12
Learn to create multiple elements from Revit families by editing family parameters, materials, and shelf counts, and applying material changes from project to family to drive consistent updates.
Creating Modular Families10:48
Learn to create modular Revit families with Dynamo, using multiple elements, tight vs instance parameters, and configurable height, thickness, and separation to enable consistent behavior and easy modifications.
Adding Elements to Project5:06
Explore dynamic creation of Revit families with Dynamo, adding and modifying elements, adjusting materials, borders, and visibility through parameters, instances, and types.

Placing Families with Dynamo10:21
Place and manage Revit families with Dynamo by calling families and types by name, duplicating types, and mapping parameters via element get parameter value by name to drive geometry.
Creating Duplicates and Values8:05
Learn to duplicate Revit family types, use nested elements, and generate multiple element types by varying height, length, and width with a naming convention and parameter updates.
Setting Values and Viewing Multiple Results3:45
Create twenty-five Revit family instances and cycle parameter values across multiple locations using Dynamo, adjusting width and other parameters via the element type reference.
Creating Variation of Elements6:08
Explore creating variation of elements in Revit families with Dynamo by copying and linking parameter values, purging duplicates, and adjusting height and size for correct element sizing.

Requirements

Need to know how to create Families in Revit
Need to know about Dynamo Geometry Basic and Dynamo Analysis

Description

This course would focus on Family Creation related to Dynamo Use so that construction prefabricates can be analyzed repeated and modify depending on the project requirements.

We will start by reviewing family functionality creation, shapeshifting, nesting and parameter driven families so the proper response can be nurtured by dynamo

We will work on piece sample creation feeding parameters to solve geometry requirements, and with this we will set value of typing and parameters to adjust for proper solutions.

Generative Design is opening a lot of possibilities on the engineering and construction panorama, functionalities going for everytype of user , are allowing technology to make a difference on the way we work for any type of project.

This new series its now pulling all dynamo and practical BIM workflows for a Generative Design and for solving construction problems

We will keep adding custom nodes for specific approaches and as always would recommend to foster your own solutions.

Generative Design and Dynamo are not yet on the peak that they will probably be on the next years so take the leap of faith, and start sooner unraveling your full potential for Modeling and Programming and enjoy at any time the freedom of possibilities to make technology work the way you need it to.

Join to a selective group that its looking for possibilities rather than restrictions, and be UpToDate for all the amazing possibilities that in any time can transform your way of working, to change it forever.

Who this course is for:

Anyone involved in the use of Revit and Dynamo
Structural Engineers that want to go for prefabs and Generative Design
MEP Engineers that would certainly need to create families
