Making a Parametric Revit Grid By Using Dynamo 

Wishing you all the best

Most welcome dear

Greeting, dear Robbie, I am happy you find these videos useful, i tried once to make a parking but in 2d base in dynamo, it was a couple of hours goffy tests, that failed soon as I was just testing, but for columns I did a full set of videos in my channel to make automatically generated grids and beams and columns, look at it, for ramp and 3d parking it can be done indeed, it might take a 2 months of work to make it accurate and to make it comprehensive, u can use a linear array function ir even better 2d array dynamo to create a parametric x and y zone that has in it your cars, yet applying the columns to it is another battle :) You can use the automatic building that I made (automatic room, I do not remeber the name :) ) and make it multi story, just try to tackle each problem alone, so First make a linear array of parking Second make the bin Third fix the circulation possibility (this is a nightmare mate!!) Fourth do the multi story Fifth do the ramp Cheers mate

Hi Titi, Can you explain more please?

@@FirasNoori Hi, I'm creating scaffolding families in Revit and I have to create a family to identify the item by the grid position to be able to calculate the load on each leg of the scaffold. For example, let's regard that we have a structural beam locate between grid 1-2 horizontal and A-B vertical, I would like to be able to see it on my schedule, as I can see the column location according to grid lines. Thanks.

@@titomoura7014 Have a look at the rest of the videos in this series, at the end, I will make a line to connect the dots and each line actually represents a beam,, you can get back the location (Start point and endpoint of each line) this will give you exactly the location of each beam!! for naming you can add a sequence of letters like A, B, C to be added to each beam you create in Dynamo to name each beam a unique one

@@FirasNoori Thank you for responding me! I will look at it carefully.

Hi, i guess that you can change that in revit scale rather in dynamo, i never tried that to be honest in dynamo before! FN

You can define a direct input to control this, but each user will have his own length of grids as one will need 10 and other need 20 grid and they all can be carried not equal dimension, good idea, let me see if I can make a video regarding that, thnx for this powerful question

@@FirasNoori Waiting and would love to see that. Thanks for reply

See this video for you :)

I am using Automatic Translation from Google, so not really sure if the translation was correct. If I understand you write, you can align these grids to an existing one, or you can import CAD grid and them let Dynamo sense them and change them Automatically to Revit one, you can use select model elements, and then get CurveElement.Curve to change Revit ELement inro Dynamo Lines, then use Curve.end and Curve.StartPoint to build you own automatic Dynamo Grid and get it back to Revit!! this is a series time saver node, I should made it one day, Sorry for my late replay as I have midterm Exams at university and I have lots of student to examine every day. Cheers

@@FirasNoori I used the translator too, I hope you understand. thank you for answering, because i build walls in the revit first then put lines of axes, so i avoid going to dwg and back, this grid inserted in the center of the wall in use, it is not good to create all the walls and send to dwg and back in revit for grid lines, axis in the center. it doesn't become practical and fast.

for a quick process it is to select walls, another object, detect the center and thus insert the axis, grid lines. that's what I'm thinking and having trouble doing.

and do you have dynamo to put measurements in the project automatically, by video for me to do?
