Automatic Showroom

Hi!

 

Is there any way to create an automatic showroom of all the families of a file? (It can be done by specific categories) and showing all the types...

I don't know if it is because of the wording, but I have not find anything.

I would like to have something as shown in the attachtments:

Hi!



Do you know where can I get the script and how can I install it?



Thank you!

You generally write your own scripts for Dynamo. Yea, it allows you to do some things that Revit SHOULD be able to do on its own, but a big reason exists is to do things that have no singular correct way to do. Dynamo allows for users to create a custom process that accomplishes tasks exactly how they'd like. You can try to look around online, but I don't think you'll have much success.

 

There's never a better way to learn than to have a specific problem you want to address. I wanted to automate the process of making evacuation plans to print for each room in a project. It took me a couple weeks to learn how to use Dynamo and get an initial script done, but I learned a ton through the process and wrote another dozen scripts over the following weeks.

As mentioned above by @mhiserZFHXS, Dynamo is best used and understood when trying to solve your own problem. 

I would recommend going through a few basic dynamo scripts and the theory content on the Dynamo Website to understand more. 

 

For your problem, you can then use this as a starting point and modify the script as per requirement : (1) Dynamo Placing Families in one click! - YouTube.

Here the script places a particular family type with spacing. You can use a similar path and try to solve it for all categories. 

If this helps please mark the solution 🙂

Thank you all.

I imagine that maybe someone else has an app to do it.

Hi @JML_Mela, at the moment I am not sure if any company has developed a tool for it. You could keep an eye on this Plug-in's future updates: Manage Revit Families and Worksets with FamilyReviser - DiRoots

ChatGPT from Open AI can actually help you write a script. I'm not saying this is the exact script language you need or the nodes that are equivalent in Dynamo, just something to consider.

Thank you!



Actually I need far more knowledge to make a script work. I don’t have any
idea of Dynamo, then I will need to study a little (a lot) more before
doing it, and now, I don’t have the time to do it (even if I would love to).



I have all the families in the file,

I will just start to upload them.



Thanks!
