4 sections • 21 lectures • 2h 26m total length

Introduction0:57
Learn to transfer elements between Revit versions with Dynamo Player by applying destruction and creation methods, relate parameters to elements, and optimize modeling workflows.
Transfering Revit Models2:01
Learn to transfer elements between Revit versions using Dynamo and Dynamo Player, extracting elements to a file and reimporting to the target version, with selective analysis and interoperability considerations.
Dynamo Overview and Principles3:29
Learn how to transfer elements between Revit versions using Dynamo 2.0, identify missing items, recreate families with matching names and parameters, and apply Dynamo principles for cross-version workflows.

Comparing and Outlining Missing Elements9:51
Identify missing elements between Revit models with dynamo, compare elements by category, and outline transfers to align the linked file with the latest model.
To Transfer Walls extraction12:16
Learn to extract and transfer wall elements between Revit versions with Dynamo Player. The process covers selecting wall categories, checking attachment via parameter values, and exporting lines for transfer.
First Insert of Elements on Revit 201710:57
Open the 2017 model and use extracted files to recreate elements, map levels and types, and transfer geometry from 2019 to 2017 with Dynamo Player.

To Transfer Floors6:19
Transfer floors between Revit versions with Dynamo Player by extracting floors from a 2019 file, applying level constraints, and generating lines and sketches to assemble the multi-floor structure.
Insert Floor Elements on Revit 20176:29
Explore inserting floor elements in Revit 2017 with Dynamo, creating floors by outline type and level, adjusting properties and floor types, and splitting curves to fix geometry.
To Transfer Structural Columns4:58
Transfer structural columns from revit versions using dynamo player by floor instructions to derive line and level, set type, translate up, and apply facing orientation before saving.
Insert Structural Columns on Revit 20178:15
Learn how to insert structural columns in Revit 2017 using Dynamo Player, selecting structural column types, adjusting the base offset and levels, and aligning geometry with project elevations.
To Transfer Structural Framings2:05
Learn how to transfer structural framings between revit versions using dynamo player by extracting framing geometry, adjusting reference levels and offsets, and executing the script.
Insert Structural Framings on Revit 20174:25
Insert structural framings on Revit 2017 using Dynamo Player to place beams, columns, and braces, adjust offsets, and align floors while saving and exporting framing data.
To Transfer Structural Foundations10:15
Learn to transfer structural foundations between Revit versions using Dynamo Player, filtering by category, distinguishing single-family foundations, and relocating elements with translation vectors and levels.
Insert Structural Foundations on Revit 201711:05
Learn to insert structural foundations in Revit 2017 using Dynamo scripts, including creating and saving components, selecting element types, and positioning with start and end points and rotations.
Apply Rotation to elements.2:16
Rotate elements by managing vectors and positions within a transaction, align with a target vector, apply a rotation angle to the family instance, and save for reuse.
Extract and Insert Family Furniture13:42
Explore transferring furniture and other families between Revit files using Dynamo Player, including host types, transfer properties, and aligning placements. Learn to adjust rotations and placements for accurate family insertion.
Extracting Hosted Elements3:20
Extract hosted elements from Revit windows with Dynamo Player, save and transfer windows by capturing host and element IDs, positions, and the family type 36 by 40 for correct placement.
Inserting Hosted Elements5:09
Configure the model to insert hosted elements by selecting target types, applying a host family and correct location orientation, and reviewing the placement in drafting views.

Extracting Information from Drafting Views10:35
Transfer drafting views between Revit versions with Dynamo by extracting text notes, lines, and parameters from the source view. Configure view names, location, and export to another file.
Exporting Information to Create Drafting Views6:43
Explore exporting geometry, line styles, and element names from revit with dynamo player to create drafting views, including setting file paths and exporting data to csv for multiple views.
Creating Drafting Views from Files11:36
Learn to create drafting views from files using Dynamo Player, transferring lines, texts, and text note types. Apply line styles and text notes to reproduce drafting elements across Revit versions.

Requirements

A Computer to accomplish the recommended exercises
Need to install a trial of Autodesk Revit 2019 and Autodesk Revit 2017 and Dynamo 2.0.2 on the Computer
Need to know or have taken Dynamo Analysis , Dynamo Player Volume 1 and Revit Quantity Takeoffs

Description

This course it’s designed to help you with one problem that you are sure you had before.

Once a Revit File its updated to a up version it can not longer be part of previous version, nothing to worry if processes are easy to update, but it you have a BEP requirement of a lower version you can have a lot of troubles.

Using Dynamo and Dynamo Player we are going to work and learn about Extraction and Creation Methods for Modeling Transfer, and see how all parameters can be related to those element.

This bold proposal is for you to set a foundation for future adaptation processes and to think modeling as a process that might be optimized, analyzed and replicated.

Its an incredible opportunity to get access to workflows and open your possibilities to speed up your processes as well as for your partners or coworkers.

BIM is now on a second digital revolution where communication skills and programming would create a different value to construction and infrastructure BIM projects, the core stream would be reflected in responses and computer analysis rather than handmade models.

This course its part of a series of Dynamo Player optimization processes that clearly would become a complete collection of tools that can change modeling processes.

This course complements with other courses such as Dynamo Player Volumes and Quantity Takeoff Course and it will also set a new requirement for future courses with other workflows, for documents creation.

Also, we have a direct response for any topic listed, so we can improve the content.

Be the first to know of future courses regarding BIM, take advantage of all the opportunities that may appear and use it to improve your work performance and get better job positions.

Who this course is for:

Designers, Architects and Engineers that may need to work on projects with previous versions and need to hold the upgrade of their clients release
Construction Site workers that need to check updates and modifications over models
