Generative Design in Revit 2021

Time to finally explore the new Generative Design tools in Revit 2021. In this video we build a Dynamo script and run it using the new tools, fun stuff!

I hope you enjoy the session and learn something new! Feel free to comment any feedback/questions below, or follow my channel if you enjoyed this.

Very well balanced and unbiased presentation, gives the audience a level field to think through options. Much appreciated....

[danielarmenta]

I really want to thank you for all your excellent tutorials and your will to teach people

[benjaminguler]

Great Video! I especially enjoyed the good, bad and ugly portion

Very well made video, rich in content and usefull information for beginners and advanced users alike.
I suspect that generative design, although starting from geometry will have much more practical implications in other aspects of design, and decision making. Just a matter of time until other properties get quantified and assigned a relative value parameter to compare results.
32:33 Hit the nail on the head as far as I'm concerned.
Thx for the video and keep up the good stuff.

thank you for your efforts, I thought GD has no practical application. great work!

Great video thanks - a lot of videos out there showing how to run the inbuilt studies as you said but this really helped me get a handle on this tool and it’s (current) limitations. You mentioned isovists, I’m currently fighting with the space analysis toolkit, you got any plans to drop a video about that?. Cheers.

Excellent job. Can you also design a script for interior design layouts with office, workstations, and common support spaces (staff, storage, washroom & meeting rooms)?

Hi ABG. appreciate your video. Was trying to follow your steps, but however it seems that my OUT_Height variables stuck at a single value only instead of giving me options with different heights. I might miss out some of your steps. Checked all of my settings. Seems ok. Appreciate your feedback.

Wao this demo is quite interesting. Thanks a lot for sharing your wealth of experience.
please I want to find out if Grasshopper can be integrated into Revit program.
cheers

Hello Aussie BIM Guru, thank you for the great demo, is it possible to share your demo files so that I can practise myself?

[AussieBIMGuru]

Guide for using the tool in student version can be found here;

Hi, the demo is so interesting but I have some problems using the generative design tools. I'm using the student version Revit 2021, already downloaded dynamo, but I don't have the generative design tab in the Manage section. Is there anything i've missed?

[kevalsolanki]

As you said it is not supported in Student License, Is there any other options like Dynamo Package or Plugin in Revit where I can use the Generative Design? I did hear about Refinery Tool, Is it helpful in same and available in market for free?

[suleymangurbuz]

hello mr BİM guru,
I think my question will be independent of the subject.
Can't we make the plugins we want to use with Revit APİ ?
How important do you think it is to specialize in Revit APİ ?

Hello Gavin, I have attempted to recreate your workflow in Dynamo (Revit 2022) and my studies are returning results of differnt positions but identical heights. So then I simply downloaded your dynamo script (and replaced the Watch nodes bc of version incompatility) and ran the study, but i have the same issue. Do you have any idea why this might be happening? Thank You.

[azramaliha]

Hi, is it possible to create a school architectural plan similar to the property plan and building blocks you have made in revit and do a study ?

[ibrahimantonios]

what are all these icons in your toolbar ? ;)

[fabian]

great video, How do you know all of that stuff?

[ds-pro]

Hello, We did the same exercise with same steps, by when we apply generative design the outputs are not appearing, can you figure out what is the problem?

[christopheragbodzahmakafui]

Hello Aussie BIM Guru. For those having issues in updating the Generative Design to get the package, could you please share your Generative Design Package with us for installation. My Humble request
