Introduction

In this episode, Dynamo plants 8 trees at once in a grid pattern next to the house. Let's start. Use a project copy. Hello. In episode 15, we place Revit families in a pattern using Dynamo. Use a project copy.

Langkah 1: Buka Dynamo dari tab Manage di Revit

Open Dynamo from the Manage tab in Revit, then click Launch Dynamo. Wait until the window opens. Home page, click New to create an empty workspace.

Langkah 2: Buat workspace baru dengan tombol New

First, select the family type.

Step 3: Select family type - Family Types

Add the family type S node and select one tree, for example, Honeylochus. This node takes the type from an existing family in the project.

Step 4: Create a 2 x 4 point pattern with replication

Create a pattern of points with the code block. Variable X contains 2 positions, Y contains 4 positions. Find.by Chordinates with parentheses creates every combination of X and Y, resulting in 8 points. List.flaten flattens it into one list. Watch displays the points.

Step 5: Place family at each point - FamilyInstance, ByPoint

Add the family instance.by.pine node. Connect the family type to family type, and the list of points to pane. Immediately, 8 trees are planted in Revit.

Step 6: Check in Revit - the planted tree is next to the house

We check in Revit. Open the first floor plan, and see the trees neatly aligned next to the house.

Done! Family is automatically placed in the pattern

Done. The family is automatically placed in a pattern. In the next episode, we write code with Python. Goodbye. Want to master Dynamo and Revit?
