Dynamo Report – a Plug-in for Autodesk Revit

Dynamo is primarily a plug-in for Autodesk Revit and Vasari. Dynamo can also run as a stand-alone application with all the list and logic functionality, and with some experimental geometry tools available using the Autodesk Shape Manager kernel.

Dynamo allows designers to design custom computational design and automation processes through a node-based Visual Programming interface. This means that a designer can leverage computational concepts, without the need to write code. In addition, Dynamo gives the designer the added advantage of being able to leverage computational design workflows within the context of a BIM environment. The designer is able to construct custom systems to control Vasari Families and Parameters
