I agree. The accumulated software in the Autodesk stable is so unwieldy it is not as seamless as they purport - note the operative words in the presentation, "we are still experimenting with that, "..."I am going to say yes to that"..." I'm pretty sure..."

I figured it out...user error. If you launch Dynamo from the Windows start menu and NOT from the Revit Ribbon under Manage it will not list the core Revit Nodes.

the presenter is awkward. the other one communicates better

I thought the same thing the other guy had nice insight, this was a great very basic intro to dynamo. I think the presenter had to keep on eye on time, not that he was rude. Just guessing off course

Simply hold control and drag from original ;) it will make copy, i find its more easy than ctrl+c, ctrl+v since you already can place where you need it ;)

+Deividas Pocius yes doing that but not easy nor faster :>

Eddie Seda are u really not aware that other 3D modeling software already incorporated this functionality with so much ease? Eg are: AutoCAD, 3Ds Max, Rhino... What they are presenting here is not new. It's been created in other programs a long time ago :)) I switched from Revit.

And by the way, if I do decide to work with scripting, I will do Maya. The results are so much more elegant and professional!

Horn Beam i agree, and am already proficient in 3ds Max and Rhino, i use these extensively in modelling and also to support V-ray rendering(kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arKapdCf2Ky6cqc.html), but the truth of the matter is rhino by itself is not sufficient to document data and be parametric, it requires the use of Grasshopper and other extra plugins to achieve algorithmic modelling. 3ds Max is simply not an architectural software, its parameter are not quantifiable. Which is why Dynamo reveals a powerful side to Revit if you know how to use it. It has all the capabilities of Rhinocerous and 3ds Max, albeit a bit complicated, but it is algorithmic, which is what is important. Rhino without Grasshopper to feed back to data for quantifiable costs, and i am talking specifically in architecture and building industry, isn't necessarily that powerful if you do not tie it back to autocad, revit or any other architectural BIM software. This is just my personal experience, i may be wrong.

Again, i think Maya is just a Nurbs/polygonal modelling software and cannot schedule elements for construction nor do detailed drawings. it is mostly suited for first process design, not documentation. Here we are talking about the ability to document what you design, because ultimately architecture and design has to go beyond conceptual into built. and scheduling is the first step.

Horn Beam maya is for texturing, and rendering a final presentation, not for building dumbass.
