    Description

    Learn how to use Dynamo to automate tedious tasks involving project coordination, note block keynotes, and plan tagging. This class will provide three different scripts, which will be shared with attendees. The first script will employ Dynamo Sandbox, the packages from Dynamo Automation, and Windows Task Scheduler. This script lets Revit users create generic annotation note comments that will then automatically export these views and comments to Microsoft Excel. This script is designed to cut back on Bluebeam sessions and red marks, letting a project manager, non-tech-savvy technical experts, and varying discipline engineers communicate with one another through Revit and Excel. The second script automatically hides generic annotation note block keynotes on sheets where certain keynotes do not belong, letting the keynote note blocks be placed directly in the view instead of on the sheet. The third script enables more automatic placement of tags and notes for mechanical ductwork plans.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn how to create Windows Task Schedules to run Dynamo Sandbox that opens in multiple projects and runs various Dynamo scripts
