Today, after practicing social distancing and isolation for 8 weeks, I would like to share some thoughts about BIM managers. It may be that I am missing some human interaction after all these technical posts. This pandemic has disrupted our usual lifestyle, from our daily interactions with relatives to contact in the workplace. Companies, regardless…
Checking the Revit API documentation, for those advanced Revit users that are looking into developing their own tools, is a cumbersome task. Looking for what…
Revit macros are helpful tools that allow you to deal with repetitive tasks by automating them. So why don’t we use Dynamo or pyRevit for…
From time to time, it is necessary to check for all the revisions that a sheet has gone through. For example, when issuing drawing sets,…
Creating floor finishes is a task that can be automated easily and save us a huge amount of time. When room finishes are defined or…
Promise, this is the last post about Python abstract concepts and basics. Also, this is the most important lesson, it will explain the tools that…
After a brief introduction to some of Python’s basic elements, this post will introduce some more handy elements to use in Dynamo and it will…
Learn about valuable and basic programming concepts in Python like expressions, values and operators that will help you develop better plugins with Revit’s API.
Transferring particular view templates from one Revit project to another can be troublesome from time to time. Put for example, when you tunned the last…
pyRevit allows us to create a customized toolbar, and in this post, we will see how this can be achieved. And best of all, no code compilation involved, chunks of code can be tested right away.
Placing grids dimensions in every view can be a tedious task but we can automate it! So here goes this Python script:
More often than not, drafters or modelers forget to fill in Drawn By or Checked By on the sheets due to lack of time and fast approaching deadlines.
Revit Python Shell, RPS, is a useful, a really useful tool to test Python scripts live. You can run what you type in the console to see the results and debug in a terminal as if it is in a Python console.
[pyRevit] allows you to use tools like Make Pattern that will save you heaps of time creating fill patterns directly inside Revit or Set Revisions on Sheets or Print Ordered Sheet Index.
A common question that I find myself answering often is: what should I learn to automate tasks and create my own Revit tools? Usually, my…
Removing Revit backups for families and project files can be, sometimes, a bit tedious. If you have folders and subfolders with tons of families or not work shared projects, backups can take a big portion of the storage and make it hard to find what you need.
[This tool] will provide a tool to place families along a curve in Revit besides arcs and lines.
The true power of Dynamo is to make accessible the Revit’s raw features and tools and adapt them to the user needs in an easy way.
Let’s take the first step of the journey and hope you enjoy your time spend with us!
