A full list of example files can be found in the Appendix. Download the example file that accompanies this exercise (Right click and "Save Link As."). Another useful resource for Python and Revit is the Revit Python Shell Project. For a more detailed review on Python's relationship to Dynamo and Revit, refer to the Dynamo Wiki page. The examples below demonstrate ways to implement Revit-specific operations from Dynamo using Python. Additionally, there are many IronPython libraries accessible now which can be imported into Dynamo!

While Revit is the case study for this section, we can anticipate more chapters in the future which offer comprehensive tutorials on scripting in other platforms. As Dynamo adds more programs to the docket, users will gain access to platform-specific APIs from the Python scripting environment. The plan behind the Dynamo Project is to widen the scope of platform implementation. In this collaboration, they can improve design and execution of the model.

For example, a BIM manager and a schematic designer can work together on the same graph. By combining the process of visual programming with Revit API scripting, collaboration and tool development improve significantly. This gives us access to the Revit API and offers custom scripting for any Revit task. To import the Revit nodes, Revit elements, and the Revit document manager, we only have to add a few more lines: import clrįrom import *įrom RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager Remember, we imported our Dynamo core nodes with the first three lines in the block of code below.

Now that we've demonstrated how to use Python scripts in Dynamo, let's take a look at connecting Revit libraries into the scripting environment. Surfaces: Interpolated, Control Points, Loft, Revolve Translation, Rotation, and Other Transformations
