BIM and others

This time I want to stop with very complicated dynamo scripts and workflows just because sometimes basics are important as well. In this article I'll focus on the procedure to setup a common shared coordinate environment useful both as internal, if you manage multiple disciplines in your company, and external if you have to deal with consultants. As always, I'll try to use as much as possible, screenshots from the software. The first step is to create a new project with grids and levels. You can start from your template or just from a blank default template. If you choose for the second option go directly to the "Site" view to be able to see the "Project Base Point". This will be the "Origin" of your project and the reference for all the other linked models. If you're not able to see this element, just open the Visibility Graphics window (VV) and make visible the element under "Site" category Now it's time to creat...

As always everything is coming from my childhood…ops no, that's another story. As always everything starts on a white recycled paper just in front of my keyboard; a simple idea becomes immediately a sketch with Revit parameters. I tried many times different kind of plugins for automatic supports placement, but no one of these is able to create a multi-pipes supports (if I'm wrong, please let me know the name of the plugin). The idea for this script in Dynamo, is to create a support for a bounce of pipes going parallel for a while, and create a group that is possible to copy along the path. I'll not focus on the creation of the families that you need for the support but just to explain the main idea, I have 3 different pieces (steel bar, u-bolt and threaded rod) that I'll compose together to create the final support. The first challenge is to align the pipes to the same BOP (bottom of pipe) because they have to stand on the steel bar and locked with the ...

This is is a simple example about the power of Dynamo inside Revit First example is a simple structural framing with analitycal model inside And this is a parametric roof made with the power of adaptive components Some tutorials ASAP
