Integrate an Outcome Using Dynamo for Revit

After using Dynamo for Revit to create a generative design study, integrate a selected outcome into the Revit model.

To integrate an outcome using Dynamo for Revit

1. If needed, open Revit, Dynamo, and the Explore Outcomes dialog.
   1. If you closed the study type in Dynamo and the model in Revit, open them again and arrange the windows to display side by side.

      For instructions, see steps 1, 2, and 4 in Create a Study Using Dynamo for Revit.

   2. If you closed the Explore Outcomes dialog for the study, in Dynamo click Generative DesignExplore Outcomes, and open the study.
2. In the Explore Outcomes dialog, do the following:
   1. Select the outcome that you want to integrate into the Revit model.
   2. Click Open in Dynamo.
3. Go to the Dynamo window. If another graph is currently open and it has unsaved changes, a warning displays asking if you want to save those changes. Answer it as needed.

   Dynamo opens an edition of the study type that uses the inputs for the selected outcome.

4. In the study type, confirm that you selected the desired outcome.

   When you integrate this outcome into the model, Dynamo adds to or modifies the model. Before doing this, confirm that you selected the desired outcome.

   1. In the Run Settings bar at the bottom of the Dynamo window, click Run (or press F5).
   2. To see the 3D preview of the result (if it has one), press CTRL+B.

      Confirm that the outcome is as expected. If any errors occur, resolve them before proceeding.

      Note: Depending on the study type, the outcome may show abstract representations of the changes to be made, rather than actual Revit elements. When the outcome is integrated, the elements will display in the model.
   3. To return to the graph view, press CTRL+B again.
5. Run the graph to make changes to the model.
   1. In the graph, locate the Gate node.

      The Gate node is typically located towards the right side of the graph. You can also find it by going to Extensions Graph Node Manager and typing Gate in the search box. Click the node on the list of results, and it will be centered in the workspace.

      For a sample study type, it's located in a group box that's labeled something like "Create Revit elements" or "Gate node".

      Note: Some study types don't contain a Gate node.
   2. For the Gate node, change its value from Close to Open.
      

      This change allows Dynamo to integrate the outcome into the model.

   3. Click Run to run the graph again.

      With the Gate node open, Dynamo updates the model accordingly.

6. In Revit, review the changes.
