What's New in Dynamo for Revit 2.6

Dynamo for Revit 2.6 is automatically installed in Revit as an internal add-in.

Updating Revit does not affect the previous Dynamo versions installed in the previous Revit release. Dynamo for Revit 2.6 includes the following updates.

Added 90 New Dynamo for Revit nodes. See Dynamo for Revit Nodes.

User Enhancements

• Updated DynamoRevit Sample file titles.
• Closed Workspace References Extension automatically when workspace is closed.
• Added a new version of NodeLibrary extension to Dynamo that does not require CEFSharp
• Default ports now show in italics if enabled.
• CodeBlockNodes show line numbers - there is a global option to disable this behavior.
• Large performance/memory improvement by avoiding memory allocation for CLR objects on the Dynamo VM heap - as this functionality was not used.
• Large (up to 100x) performance improvement in PolyCurve intersection, and improved performance with PolyCurves in general.
• Documentation Browser extension is added to core.
• Nodes which were manually renamed display a tag, and the original name is added to the node description tooltip.
• Obsoleted Google instrumentation and adopt ADP instrumentation which is consistent with rest of Autodesk products.

API Changes

• Obsoleted methods on the HelixRenderPackage class using Geometry types for setting transforms - in the future this should be done with matrices directly.
• HandlingEventTrigger Obsoleted.
• ToggleIsUsageReportingApproved Obsoleted.

Fixed Issues in Dynamo

• Updated System.Windows.Interactivity to align with Revit to address an issue where the UI would become unresponsive and NodeViews would not load.
• Fixed instability with node2Code.
• Fixed instability with undo/redo and unresolved nodes.
• Updated UI around analytics to make options more clear and better respect user's choices.
• Fixed instability that could occur if LibG was not loaded.
• Fixed instability that occurred when drawing curves on lowest precision setting.
• Fixed an issue where using the scroll wheel in the node library would stop working.

Fixed Issues in Dynamo for Revit

• Fixed the issue that joined geometry does not display correctly in Dynamo.
• Fixed the incorrect Dynamo Revit sample file location in the description.
• Removed the redundant error message when Dynamo Revit users run the Dynamo script containing the global parameters.
• Fixed the issue so that "All Element of Type" Dynamo node would work as expected.
• Fixed the Dynamo Revit node: Roof.ByOutlineExtrusionTypeAndLevel issue so it works as expected.

Known Issues

• Dummy nodes (unloaded zero touch nodes) and unloaded custom nodes will not have the renamed tag displayed. Instead, the tag will be displayed after nodes are resolved.
