Dynamo 4.0.2 introduces performance improvements, PythonNet3 as Dynamo’s default Python engine, improvements to collapsed groups, and more.
Highlights include:
- Performance improvements –
Several performance improvements make Dynamo significantly faster:
- PolyCurve offset operations are 1.5 times faster.
- Boolean nodes that take in multiple input geometries are optimized. As a result, the Solid.ByUnion node is about 10 times faster.
- Geometry.Intersect and Geometry.IntersectAll are 5 to 6 times faster.
- Geometry.DoesIntersect is about 30 times faster.
- PolySurface.ByJoinedSurfaces is 131 times faster.
- Point.Project is 400 times faster.
- Resource path update: Dynamo for Revit sample files, packages, and templates are now installed in more secure locations within Program Files. Moving them to a protected system folder ensures that these files remain safe from unauthorized changes, giving you a more secure and reliable experience.
- PythonNet3 becomes Dynamo’s default Python engine: PythonNet3 is now the default Python engine, providing a modern, reliable, and sustainable path forward for Python development. The Dynamo interface supports this transition in multiple ways:
- Dynamo automatically migrates CPython nodes, including custom nodes that use CPython, to PythonNet3.
- A backup copy of the original file is created automatically.
- When opening a graph with CPython nodes, you’ll see a notification informing you how many nodes were migrated.
- Improvements to collapsed groups: Groups collapse to a minimal, node-like footprint, and code block output ports inside collapsed groups include the variable name or type.
