Groups can be a convenient and efficient way to set up a project, especially when dealing with dimensions and attached groups. However, a significant issue is the limited API access available for manipulating groups.   In my case, I wanted to rotate a group using Dynamo, but the operation caused the group to be recognized as having a different base height relative to the group origin. This occurs because the group origin cannot be rotated, leading Dynamo to treat the group as an individual element, which results in altered values.   Additionally, adding elements to existing groups is, as far as I know, not possible with the current API.   It would be highly beneficial to make groups more accessible for automation through Python, Dynamo, or other tools.   Show More

In many real-world projects, MEP design in Revit remains largely manual and component-driven. While the platform is highly capable for modeling, the workflow can become time-intensive and less efficient when scaling across complex buildings or ensuring early-stage design accuracy. Some commonly observed challenges include: Manual placement and routing of MEP elements (fixtures, devices, piping, cable trays) Limited system-driven automation based on space type, usage, or engineering rules Code compliance (NEC, IEC, etc.) often verified late rather than embedded during design Coordination dependencies across disciplines, leading to iterative rework Limited support for workflows aligned with prefabrication and modular construction Across the industry, there is a growing shift toward intelligent, rule-based design approaches, where: Systems are generated based on predefined logic (e.g., room function, load requirements, occupancy) Engineering standards and constraints are embedded directly into the design process Layouts are optimized for constructability and scalability Validation occurs in real time, reducing downstream coordination issues Show More

Created a script where the family was drawn exactly to the mm without decimal places. I then placed this family in a project where true north and project north are exactly the same and placed the family to mm again without decimal points as per this diagram Above shows family in project and the origin point Above the family alignment in family editor   For some reason when I run the script though it is showing decimal places that have crept in Above the decimal places in Dynamo   Researching what is happening is that apparently Revit is programmed in Feet and inches and converts my metric number, which is causing the decimal places.    I could easily round them but the script still  refers back to this part where decimal places occurs.  Show More

Good morning, I believe split lines on toposolid (and floors) could be further improved if we could use them as breaklines to manage and guide the triangulations. They already to that but we can only create them by selecting two points. It would be better if we could select imported 3D polylines (ie. form a .dwg file) and the program adds breaklines onto them. Or if it is possible to create a node in dynamo that reads imported 3D Polylines and creates split lines onto the toposolid. It would be a lot easier to model complex slopes, curbs, pavements with built in ramps etc. Show More

Develop the possibility to open several documents of type dynamo .dyn script (without being able to execute them at the same time - to avoid errors). Because it can save time to just copy a part of a script in another document. Show More

When accessing an instance of an family hosting nested families, its no problem to access the instance parameters of the nested family instances  (via Revit API or Dynamo).  But SetParameterValues (dynamo) or SetValue (API) on an instance parameter of a nested family always results in message that paramater is read-only.   Parameter should be modifiable or in short "get rid of readonly flag", as long as the parameter are instance parameters, not associated with a parameter of the hosting family already.  This would enable to change the values of instance parameters of different instances of same family type to different values.   Note: Would users of Revit UI enable to change instance parameters of this type of families in schedules as well.

With dynamo 1.x and 2.x both in use, we would rather have the choice which version we want to use by default rather than having to choose which version we want to use each new revit session.   At the dynamo forum I suggested a new revit.ini block: [Dynamo] DynamoDefaultVersion=2 DynamoPlayerDefaultVersion=2 But I'm up for any improvement on this matter!  This would trigger the default version to 2.x rather than a 1.x version.

Dynamo player has improved significantly over the last years, but there are some key options that would make it significantly better when accepting user inputs.   Optional:  A toggle similar to the "Is Input" that when toggled does not generate errors if the input isn't set.  Errors are confusing to users, and while I can easily make the script work without an input explaining "this error is ok" makes the script less user friendly.   Has Defaults: Allow the specification of an optional default entry if the user doesn't input one.  For example, if the user doesn't specify a file name and path, let me set the file to the project name + date and the path to their downloads folder.   Conditional: I suspect the most difficult to implement, but a very powerful tool.  For example I have a script that I want users running regularly, but sometimes they will want to export a report.  I want them only to see the inputs for file path, file name and other file settings AFTER they toggle the boolean node "Export Report?" to true.  This reduces complexity and makes the script more accessible to users.   Yes, I know most of this is doable using the Data Shapes package, and its a great package!  However, that level of complexity isn't desirable for a simple script where 80+% of the time no inputs are needed.  Scripts using the Data Shapes package are also harder to test, take longer to write, and the GUI takes longer to pop up for users.       Show More

It could be very useful to be able to create and dimension scope boxes with Dynamo. Ideally, those scope boxes should be based on bounding boxes Show More

It would be fantastic if it were possible to set up triggers that automatically run specific Dynamo scripts. For example, triggers could activate on the placement of objects, changes to objects, or the removal of objects. Additional trigger options might also be useful.   One use case could be to automatically run a Dynamo script whenever an object is placed or created. For instance, when a new wall is placed, the script could automatically add data to the wall.   This feature would be incredibly helpful and could be applied in a variety of ways. Show More

Hello, can we please get the old dynamo UI back? The old one was way more clear and efficiënt. I don't understand why it needed an upgrade. Can someone please explain what the issues and problems were with the old one. If there aren't any please change it back or build in an option in the preferences to choose an UI.   With kind regards, A frustrated dynamo lover.   Show More

It would be great if we could have the option where we could filter reveals in some way which are modeled in the wall so that we can do some formatting with them like changing their colors. Show More

Please kindly create a generative design add on or study type in revit 2024 or 2025   I wish the add on will allow users to automatically generate floor plans based on as many as possible these factors: room functionality, sunlight, sounds, location of staircase , exterior doors, budgets, address of house, shading, furniture placement and future needs.   please help.   sincerely, gideon   Show More

On behalf of a customer from Germany let me submit the following request: Allow to cut walls, that are outside of groups, by voids that belong to windows within groups.   This currently works only if just one instance of the group is place. After the following warning it is possible to cut the wall: "A group has been changed outside group edit mode. The change is being allowed because there is only one instance" But if more instances of the group are placed a different warning appears and the cut geometry between the wall and window won't executed unless the group is edited/ ungrouped.   ps- Similar restrictions seems to have API/ Dynamo as well> through Dynamo script is is allowed to cut just by one instance of the group, but not by more.

Hello, I have created the dynamo script to add a view on sheets. As I ran it, sometime, it takes too much time until its finish. Would be really great to have a button which would be able to stop the script at any time!  Both for Dynamo and Dynamo Player. I can see that many people suffer the same way as I do.  Show More

Currently can only host adaptive components hosted to divided surface intersect nodes in a mass. The ability to place adaptive components on some sort of grid outside of a mass and in the high level project environment could allow for improved parameter accessibility, and open the door to dynamo use for modifying adaptive component geometry. Feels like there is automation opportunity if this door is opened, or improved access to modifying adaptive components with dynamo and the api. Show More

When you click on the Browse icon in Dynamo Player, the list is show from the top-most item.
