1. Slide 1: String Theory—Dynamo for Absolute Beginners

   String Theory—Dynamo for Absolute Beginners Jason Howden CEO @RTVTools © 2016 Autodesk Join the conversation #AU2016

2. Slide 2: Class summary

   Class summary No coding or Dynamo experience required. This presentation will get you started with the power of automation using Dynamo. We will explore the Dynamo interface and discover some powerful timesaving workflows so you can spend more time on design. © 2016 Autodesk

3. Slide 3: Key learning objectives

   Key learning objectives At the end of this class, you will be able to:  Understand how to use Dynamo and navigate the interface;  Where to find the best learning materials;  How to create your first Dynamo script; and  How to create a script to randomize a façade, and automate workset management

4. Slide 4: Dynamo Overview

   This is not Dynamo! but some do think it’s magic!... © 2016 Autodesk

6. Slide 6: So what is Dynamo?

   So what is Dynamo?  Is a software application (Dynamo Studio) and a plugin for Revit (Dynamo);  The code is open source;  Is a Visual Programming editor;  Where “Nodes” are connected with “Wires” to other “Nodes” to create and execute an overall program. © 2016 Autodesk

7. Slide 7: So what can I use Dynamo for?

   So what can I use Dynamo for? A wide range of processes and activities in Revit can be automated or assisted by using Dynamo including;  Geometry;  Parameter and Data manipulation;  View and Sheet creation;  Model management and audits; and  whatever your imagination aspires to explore. Dynamo

8. Slide 8: So how do you get started?

   So how do you get started? There are many places where you can find useful resources to learn Dynamo, but my favourites are;  DynamoPrimer.com;  DynamoNodes.com;  Archi+Lab.net;  DynamoPackages.com;  DyanmoBIM.org; and  Google © 2016 Autodesk

16. Slide 16: Program Management - Alignment

    Program Management - Alignment 1. Keep your programs organised; “trust me you’ll know what I mean in 3 months time!” 2. Align common Nodes into groups; 3. Remember: the ‘right-click’ functions; Dynamo Alignment: Source dynamoprimer.com © 2016 Autodesk

17. Slide 17: Program Management - Grouping

    Program Management - Grouping Grouping and Notes are invaluable and allow you to;  Leave ‘bread crumbs’ for other users;  To remind you of your logic at the time you started the program; and  To quickly identify which parts relate to each other.
