Create Instant Professional Reports Using Dynamo

As a Computational Design Specialist, Oliver spends much of his time handling Revit data. However, this data needs to be represented visually and contextualised in a report to have the maximum impact on key decision makers. Using Dynamo, Oliver has automated the production of a full range of reports: room data sheets, model analysis dashboards, clash detection visuals and visual coordination reports. Packed with engaging graphics, this talk will demonstrate quick and effective workflows for generating high-impact reports using Dynamo, Excel and InDesign. Subjects covered include:An in-depth case study of AHMM's Revit model warnings template and Dynamo definition.How to build a template file to receive data and auto-generate graphics.How to build a database resource and cross-check this in your Dynamo definitions.Using in-built Python libraries to enhance your analytics; automatically carry-out file operations, analyse files, and apply timestamps to your generated data. How to achieve beautifully-formatted reports in Excel.An overview of InDesign's Datamerge tool and benefits of database publishing.
