Sample Study Types

Revit provides a set of sample study types (Dynamo graphs) to demonstrate how generative design can be used to generate outcomes for design challenges.

Before using these study types, read the following pages to understand how they work and how to prepare the target model.

Dynamo authors may find it useful to study these examples to learn how to create graphs that address your specific design challenges. After creating and testing your own graphs, be sure to provide similar information to the Revit architects or engineers who will use them.

When you install and launch Revit, the sample graphs are stored in the following location on your local computer:

%PROGRAMDATA%\Autodesk\AECGD\Revit\Samples <release>\<language-locale>

To create a study using a sample study type, in the Create Study dialog, for Choose Folder, select Autodesk Samples.

Sample study types are read-only. If desired, you can use a sample study type as a starting point for your own graph. Open it in Dynamo and use FileSave As to save the graph with a new name. See Generative Design for the Dynamo Author.
