Practical Dynamo for Revit (w/Aussie BIM Guru)

On this episode of BIM After Dark Live I will be joined by Gavin Crump ("Aussie BIM Guru") to share his practical Dynamo for Revit tips, tricks, and scripts.

Gavin is going to share his most used scripts and show you HOW to make them. Not only that, but he will be discussing them within the context of how much time they can save you!

Some examples of scripts Gavin will be demonstrating are:
- Adding and removing revisions to and from sheets.
- Making floors from rooms.
- Adding shared parameters in bulk

... and so much more!

Sit back, relax, and let's geek out!

Wanted to throw it out there, for archi-lab's feature of relays. You can disable that feature by removing the file, from the extra folder in the package directory.

Awesome chat guys! Always glad to see all this Dynamo-ey goodness

If I may offer up a tip for new dynamo users to keep your scripts a bit organized: create groups and use CTRL+L to get things aligned before grouping them. It doesn’t do a great job…and the alignment tools I monocle are even better. But! This is a very quick and simple way to keep things clean. Also very important when learning dynamo!!!

you mentioned about not being able to use EXCEL with dynamo. we had this issue, you just need to reinstall office and it will work. I was relieved and annoyed by this solution haha. hope it works for you :)
Great session thanks guys.

Those scripts are insane! Really helpful material and amazing video. #incodewetrust 👍🏻

Awesome. I've been using Dynamo for some super basic stuff like copying offsets, deleting comments etc, but I'd like to make sheet script he had shown.
Dynamo is cool but sadly I don't have time to experiment with it, let alone learn Python.

I love getting tips particularly about Revit but I have to say the background music at the start of this part of the show is too loud, makes it difficult to hear you, the important part!
