Description
Learn how to combine computational design and Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Dynamo visual programming. We will use Dynamo to drive a Revit software model, and interoperate with other applications, data sources, and geometry tools. This workshop is for people who have some experience in Revit software and/or tools like Rhino software and Grasshopper software. Basic understanding of computer programming and scripting is helpful, but not required. This session features Revit and Dynamo Studio.

Key Learnings
- Learn about visual programming UI—see how even novice users can use Dynamo to drive BIM with advanced parametric logic
- Learn about data mining—learn how to pull information out of BIM and use it for visualization and documentation
- Learn about form finding and documentation—learn how to create building elements and views from data sources like Excel or other BIM elements
Speaker
- Lilli SmithLilli Smith, AIA is an architect with a passion for re-envisioning the way that buildings are designed. After working for several years as an architect, she joined Revit Technology as a fledgling start up and helped grow it to where it is today in almost every architect’s tool box. She has gone on to work on many Autodesk tools including Vasari, FormIt, Dynamo, Project Fractal and Project Refinery which recently graduated to a suite of tools for generative design studies in Revit.
