Dynamo 3.0.3 introduces package management in a single location, node search by category, improved Revit sample graphs, and more.
Highlights include:
- Work better with linked models: Multiple nodes are available to work with linked instances, allowing you to understand the position and transforms applied to linked elements, as well as work with their properties.
- Improved interactions with geometry: You can locate Revit geometry based on the detail level using the new Detail Level and Element.GetGeometry nodes, and access the element ID associated with the geometry. Clicking on the green element ID button in Dynamo will now also zoom to fit on linked elements in Revit.
- Toposolid nodes: Utilize toposolid nodes to generate toposolid elements within Revit.
- Package Manager: The new Package Manager dialog provides a single location for locating and managing packages. In the Package Manager, you’ll find the following:
- Package search, with a new filtering option to view packages with or without dependencies on other packages
- Package details panel that opens in the Package Manager window
- Updated workflow to upload a new package or a new version of an existing package
- A list of all currently installed packages
- A list of the packages you’ve uploaded
- Access to your package settings
- Search for nodes by category: This improvement to the search enables you to specify node categories with a period. For example, searching for “list.r” returns nodes that belong to the List category and begin with the letter R.
- More readable Watch node text: Multi-line text is more readable in Watch nodes. Scroll bars, when needed, are visible by default, and you can use the resize handle to display more text.
- Updated
Revit sample files: The Dynamo sample files under Help
Samples
Revit have been updated to include helpful descriptions that assist you in using the graph. This update also eliminates overlapping and deprecated nodes.
- Gate node and Remember node in the Dynamo library: The standard Dynamo library now includes the Gate and Remember nodes. The Gate node allows you control the execution in sections of your graph. An open Gate passes data through unchanged, while a closed Gate sends no data downstream. A Remember node stores the data passing through it to the Dynamo file and returns the stored data if the input is null.
