Dynamo for Revit Automation

About this course

Dynamo is often taught as a series of disconnected exercises. This course works the other way round: start from a task that is genuinely slow in Revit, then build the graph that handles it, including the parts that usually break — nulls, list structure, and what happens when the model is not as tidy as the example.

What you will learn

• Read and write Revit element parameters from Dynamo
• Work confidently with list structure, the usual source of broken graphs
• Handle nulls and missing data instead of assuming a clean model
• Package a working graph so other people on the project can run it
