Summary

In this chapter, we have learned what Dynamo is and how users can work with Dynamo to improve performance and productivity.

We learned that Python is one of the most common Programming languages, and it can be used in Dynamo together with the Revit API. This connection can enhance what can be altered in Revit.

We learned how to use Dynamo Player as a feature to run scripts on a project. We also looked into how to set up a folder that can be used across the organization to share the most common scripts that can be used in multiple projects.

We shared the best practices that should be used when developing Dynamo scripts (which can be extended to all the software that requires specific visual programming, such as Grasshopper).

In the next chapter, we will cover how we can get and manage the dashboard using Power BI or other software, such as Excel.
