Thanks a lot for explaining it thoroughly and showing us the multiple ways it can be used!

This is literally exactly what I was looking for. A script that allows you to select a curtain wall system and randomize the panels. If this works on my project. I owe you a beer and a steak dinner. But to add onto this script how would you move every other column of panels up by half? To be similar to that of a brick or cmu pattern.

How do we install clockwork and have the package show up in dynamo?

Great tutorial! is there a way in dynamo to randomize Curtain Wall grids in one direction? For instance, leave the horizontal grids in a regular rythm and randomize the vertical so they are not continuous? Thank you.

I can't find FamilyInstanceSetType node in my Dynamo 2023. Which refinery toolkits I need to download?

Thank you for your tutorial at first, I have a question the date you post this video your dynamo version is 2.1
I am on 2.6 and I can't find that shuffle seed
any downloaded packages you did?

[sherifabuelala]

When you select any node you can group or align without going to the Edit toolbar
What is this thing you add looks like a color picker?

This is exactly what i need :o But how did u create that custom node at the end? If i search for "settype" there is not the node you used

Hi, im using DYNAMO v.2.17.1 but it don´t seem to work, i followed all the instructions and nothing happend in revit, in Dynamo is doing all the shuffle and is getting the list correct. You think it has to do with the settype node?

[birolercanli]

how did you aligned the nodes like that? is that a shortcut or something?

Please how do I randomize curtain panels generated from a conceptual mass environment, I don't think this workflow will be compatible
