After a great week at RTCNA, (both attending classes and presenting workflows) I have a couple of updates.
I attended a great class by Marcello Sgambelluri called Design Script for Dummies. He is a great presenter and really makes everything understandable to everyone.
One thing I noticed is he has a common gripe regarding the case sensitive nature of getting and setting parameters in Revit with Dynamo.
After some thought (in a dream) I realized, “Hey, we have all of the nodes to do this already!”
So now we have the ability to use this regardless of text case. See below for the graph.
This is now included in Rhythm as a single node for getting and setting parameters.
During our presentation on Saturday, I showed how to get the percentage of glazing per wall direction using Dynamo. This is a super complicated and annoying process otherwise. (Filled Regions, Manual Calculation, Curse Words, etc) See below for one of the reactions I received.
Luckily now I bundled this node into Rhythm for everyone to use. This does assume you use curtain walls for windows and you have your exterior walls set to “exterior” function.
This was a great conference to attend and I look forward to seeing you all at the next one!
