Clashing Ducts and Linked Walls in #Revit with #DynamoBIM

This is an update to a previous workflow I posted here http://sixtysecondrevit.blogspot.com/2016/01/clashing-ducts-and-walls-in-revit-with.html
Here is how you make the graph work for linked files. (Thanks to Konrad and Dimitar)

Variable output in #DynamoBIM with Rhythm

 

I added this node to Rhythm a while back and never really shared it. It simply takes a boolean and outputs one of two options. (ThisOrThat)

Enjoy!

Rhythm on DynamoNodes

Recently Luke Johnson of WhatRevitWants launched a node-centric site to demonstrate uses of OOTB dynamo nodes and custom packages. He invited several of the Dynamo package developers (including myself) to contribute.

This site is now called DynamoNodes (formerly DynamoWorks).

There has been a lot of momentum and some exciting things are happening.

I now have a landing page for Rhythm on that site.

Go check it out and have fun with Dynamo!

Retrieve an Element’s space in #Revit with #DynamoBIM

I posted this over at DynamoNodes a few days ago, but I thought I would share it here.

A questions came up recently on how to make elements aware of what MEP space they are in. Thankfully Dynamo supports python and importing Revit API, so I came up with this little gem.

This node will retrieve the space for all of the input element(s). (if available)

Get Rhythm and enjoy!

Rhythm Updates - 20160119

I’ve mentioned previously that I now have Rhythm on GitHub. I originally did this for me to track changes from version to version and document it all. Another nice result of this is, users are able to suggest improvements for Rhythm and make it better and more streamlined for the community.
Recently Thomas issued a few pull requests and this resulted in some really nice updates for Rhythm.

The Unicode characters I created a while back are now update to better follow naming standards. The nodes now contain prefix “Unicode”.












The Revit section of Rhythm has also been revised to adhere to the tree structure much better.






There are several more updates coming soon, but I wanted to go ahead and share the ones above and thank Thomas for the great suggestions!

Also, if anyone has any other suggestions please feel free to submit a pull request!
