Run Dynamo scripts using pyRevit!

In today's video we continue learning about pyRevit by adding Dynamo scripts to a toolbar to run from. You'll need data shapes to generate UI's for this typically.

Better content and tutorials then any video autodesk gives us. Much appreciated!

Thanks Gavin, more and more people are starting to recognize your amazing tutorials and really appreciate your time!

Hey Gavin I have learned so much from you! I wanted to say you are an amazing person, God Bless you, sending the best vibes from Colombia.

[ahmedaminecharif]

Thank you for your video Gavin, very explicit and clear.

This is a gamechanger! I tend to find that users are scared of dynamo/dynamo player meaning they lose access to some really useful tools. Having everything integrated into a push button will help break down those barriers.

Thanks for walking us through it Gavin! Keep up the amazing work!

Thank you a lot for the next video on PyRevit, I really enjoy it! It is really motivating tool to dig in Python itself too .

[mpsarchitects]

hey Gavin, great video as always.. Quick question.. how do you speed up the load of the tool when you open it for the first time?
Would it be faster if this function was created with c#? And if it's c#, do you make the same toolbar in pyrevit or c# has its own tools to get it done? Thanks

If we are thinking of doing something with Dynamo, Python or pyRevit, ABG has already made a tutorial available for free. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and studies!

Hi Gavin! This is really helpful. May I ask if it is possible that I can set it to automately run Dynamo scripts for several times?

[lenikrof]

Hey Gavin, you're the best. :) I see you use floor finishes as separate floors. What are the advantages of this workflow? Do you make other floor layers as separate floors also, or what is the best practice?

[joaodutra]

Great content! I will try to replicate this for a better learning.

[StevanOrchard]

This has been super helpfully but how can I get Revit shortcuts to recognize the custom toolbar. I would like to be able to run the scripts from a short cut key but when i make the custom tools they don't show up in the short cuts.

[natchaakera]

This is so great!
I'm trying to integrate my dynamo into my tab too, but some have an input such as Excel file.
Is it possible if I need to open and edit the .xlsx before run the script?

[WietseStarsz]

Great video! Will there be any follow up on the PyRevit series?

[basjanssen]

Great Video again! I was waiting for this exact explanation, Thanks a lot. I do have a question regarding the Dynamo in Pyrevit functionality. I have some scripts that run with expected errors. when you run the dynamo script through this medium, you lose all the viewing of error capabilities of Dynamo right?

[KervinCalero]

Please, what about runing dynamo player from the pushbutton script?🙏

[rustyphilip]

Hello there
I've watched every video of yours in family creation. Great work🤗
Could you please reply how to make a tag leader to come out at the last line of the text instead of the middle?
By the way I need this information because I started using shared parameters and I'm slowly transitioning from text notes to shared parameters. My company(BlueStar India) is the biggest in HVAC in india, but we use Revit only for it's 3D modeling aspect. Creating shared parameters about AC machines and others saved me alot of time in scheduling without mistakes.
Anyway any help is appreciated because a leader line coming out at the middle is forcing me to give space between tages, It's not possible in most sheets.

Hi,

Do you know of a way to run the graph with a python script?
I want to click the button, that executes a python script that checks which revit version s running, and then picks the dyn script based on that.

[eedmaru]

Hey Gavin! Have you ever had an issue where the dynamo script works perfectly, but the PyRevit button does not work? I thought it could be related to the Automatic / Manual thing in the script, but mine are all set as Automatic. They all run via Dynamo Player, and if you already opened Dynamo in the session, the button works! They are very simple scripts, do you have any suggestion or solution?

[najwansv]

is there a way to run multiple dynamo script sequentially from pyrevit?
