Introduction1:19
Translate a full Revit model using Dynamo scripts, extract and translate data, and quality-assure the model for accurate multilingual workflows. Align with construction needs, rename elements, and create custom nodes.
Revit Model Translation with Dynamo3:00
Learn to translate complete Revit model data with Dynamo by reading and modifying script-like properties and strings, enabling language changes without altering the underlying model.
Resources

Dynamo Overview for the Course3:05
Translate Revit models with Dynamo by adjusting family and parameter names across English and Spanish, and build multilingual workflows using data shapes and open libraries.
Extracting Project Information7:39
Extract project information from Revit with Dynamo by reading element types and parameters, then export to an Excel translation file with building name and project number.
Selecting Project Information9:34
Import the Excel sheet to populate project information in Revit, select language (Spanish or English), and set parameters with a Dynamo interface using data shapes and inputs.
Extracting View Names and Levels11:08
Extract view names and levels with Dynamo to control how names are written for each element, then save the results as a translation file and test it across levels.
Selecting Levels and Views Language and Inserting it8:56
Learn to rename levels and views in a Revit model with Dynamo, handling language translations between English and Spanish and saving and running scripts via Dynamo Player.
Extracting Family Names and Types9:53
Extract and rename Revit family names and types using Dynamo, updating Spanish and English translations while preserving parameter names.
Selecting Family Names and Type Names10:26
This lecture shows how to read from family and from type in Dynamo, adjust names to English, and separate families and types for project elements.
Extracting Instance Parameters from Model Elements11:22
Extract instanced parameters from Revit elements with Dynamo, keep original parameter names, and translate values to English for properties like installation, comments, and category across family instances and project types.
Exporting those values to Translate File8:47
Extract instance parameters from Revit elements, align them to their names per type, and prepare id, parameter, value triples for exporting to a translate file in Spanish.
Extracting Type Parameters From Model Elements11:56
Extract type parameters from model elements by reading parameter names, descriptions, and comments, then transpose and translate them into the type parameters for English and Spanish values.
Selecting Parameter Value from Model Elements8:13
Explore how to read and set element parameters in a Dynamo-driven Revit translation workflow, selecting instance and type parameters, filtering nulls, and applying set parameter by name.
Extracting Information From Materials Text Notes and Legends7:23
Use Dynamo to extract materials, text notes, and legends from a Revit project, align English and Spanish names, and create new legends and text notes for drafting views.
Selecting Information to Materials Text Notes and Legends9:18
Translate Revit material names and text notes from Spanish to English using Dynamo, update text note types and legends, and ensure language consistency across the model.
Extrating Schedule Header Fields8:42
Extract schedule header fields in Revit with Dynamo by reading element parameters, including text notes inside families, and export translated headers to Excel in Spanish and English.
Selecting the Schedule Header Fields6:45
Select and translate schedule header fields in Revit using Dynamo, organize parameters and groups, apply header changes, and finalize English and Spanish translations for notes.
Create a Complete Selection of Language11:28
Create a unified Dynamo script to translate Revit model language across English and Spanish, select and rename elements, levels, families, types, materials, and notes, and propagate updates across the project.
Ending the Function11:40
Explore how to translate a Revit model's language using Dynamo, including setting translation files, applying language across families, parameters, headers, and views, and validating translations between English and Spanish.

Requirements

A computer to create your scripts with a Revit File
Need to have Instaled Autodesk Revit 2020 at least
Need to know or have taken a Dynamo Analysis Course
Need to have access to models

Description

This course its designed to help you facilitate the translation of a Revit Model, by using Dynamo Scripts so we can ensure that all information on model its been extracted, reviewed and transfer to another language and then rewrited on the model , assuring the maximum quality on the process.

Its an incredible opportunity to try and explore the posibilities for translation, due to the fact that models and work around the globe need to be versatile and with constant changes.

We will start using a spanish model, and see all the workflows to extract all info within and then with that extraction and proper translation to brind back the information and rename all those elements.

Communication is the core competence required for a fluent BIM Coordination.

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:

Designers, Architects and Engineers that need to translate their models
BIM Managers and Coordinators that need to review quality assets on their models.
