Thanks for the kind words, Matthew :) Glad I could help!!

Glad I could help! Revit can be difficult sometimes but we can all learn, share and help each other :) I'll keep posting so stay tuned!

Hello, can you tell me what was written in python scrpit

@@abdallakhleifat7274 i need it too very soon did u get it

You're welcome! Glad you liked it :)

Glad you liked my tutorial. Stay tuned for more. Your comment is VERY NICE! :-)

Thanks, I will 😁 Glad you liked my channel!

No problem at all! Glad you enjoyed it 😎

@@RVBoost Hey RV Boost, I had one issue with applying the Panel 3 to a slanted surface. When I divide the vertically slanted surface into a rhomboid, Revit was unable to properly perform divide the surface uniformly. As a result, it is unable to create instances of panel 3 on parts of the surface which was warped by slanting. Is there a workaround for this? e.g. making the 4 points of the Panel 3 adaptable, assigning it parameters so that it could conform to whatever warped rhomboid mesh revit creates as a result of dividing slanted surfaces? I am trying to create something similar to the Nanjing Youth Cultural Centre by Zaha Hadid, where scaling attractors were applied to slanted surfaces Edit: when doing this in a project environment, the error for set.parameterbyname had an error where it says that the parameter is read-only. Does this mean that the things you showed in this video can only be done in a revit family environment/conceptual mass and not in .rvt project?

Hi John. Yes, you're right in using adaptive components instead of curtain panel pattern based where Revit fails to create the latter. The good thing is in more recent Revit versions, when you have created a curtain panel pattern based family, Revit automatically generate an adaptive components that looks identical and has the same number of placement points. Hence, at least you only need to create the family once. Then, you can follow the same principle in this tutorial to drive panel opening size with Dynamo. In terms of environment, I can't remember now but the one I used in this tutorial allows editing the required parameter. Please use that.

Thanks Pat & welcome to the channel! Please make yourself at home 😆

Glad I could help!

Thanks for the sub! I'll do more tutorials soon :)

Great! I learn new Revit tricks everyday too ;)

Glad you liked it 😊 Stay tuned for more!!!

Glad you liked it ☺️

Wow, thanks! I just learned these tools as I need them really. You can do the same :)

@@RVBoost I'm trying, but i don't work in a field that actually use them. therefore, is more me trying to learn new skills. Are you working for a private firm?

Yes, I do mostly architecture, but also BIM consultancy :)

@@RVBoost simply impressive. well done.

Great! I haven't seen it on site but bet it's beautiful :)

Awesome, thank you! Glad I could help :)

You can just draw a mass as an overlay on the existing building. Would that work? ☺️

I will for sure! Glad you liked the channel 😁

Glad I could help 😃

Absolutely my friend! More Dynamo clips coming soon :)

@@RVBoost thanks

Absolutely! Stay tuned 😊

Thanks! Stay tuned for more 😊

I'm not sure actually. There are probably different options!

Glad you liked it! :)

Hi, thanks for letting me know. I have fixed the link to the script now: rv-boost.com/product/dynamo-script-create-adaptive-curtain-wall-with-multiple-attractors/

Glad you liked it! :)

Thanks Ashish. Could you send an image showing this problem? Just so I can ensure to do the right tutorial 😁

Thanks! Glad you liked it! About the ellipses, after you placed the mass family in the project, simply go to the Massing & Site tab and click to disable the "Show mass" button. The mass should then disappear but your panels will still show 😁

@@RVBoost Oh right! Totally missed that one. Thanks for the help!

No worries! Glad I could help :)

That's true! People like Revit for the ease of producing drawings from the geometry :)

Thank you! Hope you enjoyed my channel 😎

Awesome!!

You probably selected them in the wrong environment (project vs the family editor). Please check the video again to see in which environment did I perform each step.

Glad I could help 😸

Yes, but you'll need to draw the ellipses on the curved surface to achieve a good result.

This should work in both the massing and project environment. The important thing is you need to start Dynamo in the environment you want to use. For example, if you want to use it in-place in the RVT file, start Dynamo in the model. If you want to do it in the family, start it with the RFA file active. I however would do this kind of work in the family, as in-place components are usually more complicated.

Glad you liked the lesson! In case 2 ellipses at the corner don't have the same size then yes, border panels on each side of that corner will have different opening sizes. This is why I drew these ellipses to the same size as most architects would prefer that in this situation as well.

@@RVBoost Sure, I guest that's the expected problems, but glad you are admitted it. I'm new to Revit from Rhino and Grasshopper after many years, and found your helpful tut videos that are amazing for a beginner like me. All the best Mate !- From Sydney

Thanks for your kind words! I'm in the UK but so glad we can still connect here on KZfaq! I'll do more massing tutorials like this soon, just let me know if there's a particular interesting design you want to see built in Revit 😁

@@RVBoost Sure, I will let you know through the channel if i have some weir parametric form which i would love to see in revit !

do you have the script?

It's more difficult in your case because each panel will check its distances to all ellipses and take the lowest value, which will in turn determine its opening ratio. One solution is to draw more and smaller ellipses instead of 2 or 3 big ones. This way, you can better control these distances.

Thanks! Glad you liked the lesson :)

Glad you liked it!! ;)

Yes! This was shown in the video too ☺️

Hey I just checked and Dynamo 1.3.4 definitely has this All elements of family type" node. Make sure type type in the full node name and scroll through the entire list of results to find it. If the right-click search box doesn't show it, try the same search in the "Library" panel on the left of your Dynamo window.

Glad you enjoyed the tutorial!! Yes, please follow the link in the video description to obtain the script. You can then copy the python script to your Dynamo graph.

@@RVBoost its asking to buy tried buying with my card it kept telling me not possible

Hi Elkin, please check if your card has enough fund and is enabled for international payments. Also, It's easiest to pay with your PayPal account.

@@RVBoost sadly I do not have a PayPal account is there any other way?

You can also get this script and exercise files from ALL my other tutorials on Patreon :) here's the link: www.patreon.com/rvboost

I redo it all, now Im stuck at Python. I dont know how insert/copy the script, I did buy the script. Please hlp meee

Sorry about the confusion. Here's how to use the Python script: - Open the Dynamo script in Revit - Double click the Python node open it - select all text inside the Python node editor window - Press Ctrl + C - close the Dynamo script - open your own Dynamo script in Revit - double click your Python node to open it - Press Ctrl + V - Save & close your Python node editor window - Run your script

if you can send to me what you have written in python script , then i copy past it please , i need it regards

That "corrupt" message is because you didn't open the script in Dynamo 2.0 or later. Please try that.

thank you a lot, it is working... 🙏 i am an architect and i am glad to be a teacher for me to learn from you... excellent work and best regards ❤️

My pleasure! Glad you like my tutorials 😊

I found another error in the comments, I did it again but I still get that message

Hi, sounds like some characters in the Python node's text was change during your copy. Please compare the original and copied text, and re-type anything that changed.

@@RVBoostI download it again?

@@RVBoost Please, I would appreciate your prompt response.

No, just copy text again from the same file you bought.

Make sure to download the script from the website.

It can work. Have you tried?

@@RVBoost I tried but didn't work

Looks like your shape needs to have a closed boundary for the script to convert into a surface. Try Circles, ellipses, rectangles, etc.

Sure! Please send a link to a photo showing how the analysis should look like.

Thanks for letting me know. I've fixed the script now. It's too late to edit this video, but I've updated the Dynamo file at the download link in this video's description.

You can also become a patreon and access files from all tutorials. Please check this video's description for the link.

I just checked again and the script still worked. Please make sure to follow each step in the video exactly so that the script has all required input data in it.

@@RVBoost it actually worked at the end .. the issue was in something other than the script, however my project is complicated and in order to do such amazing facade it would take me a year 😭

I feel you pain! Hope you'll make it at the end :)

They're preview of point objects in Dynamo, or reference points of the divided surface. The former will disappear when you close Dynamo. The latter you can turn off in the family which I probably also show how to in this video :)

Sure! What didn't work in particular? Did you get an error? What did it say?

@@RVBoost It doesn’t say it has any mistake , the thing is , I added the family on my rvt project , divided the surface of the mass I had there , placed the diamond family , so far so great. Then I opened the dynamo script , did the elipse on my mass, on the desired facade , selected using select model elements, but absolutely nothing changed :( , it says selected , but my elipse doesn’t even show on the dynamo background. Hope you understood my problem

Some of what you described should be done in the mass family editor and not the RVT model. Please see in the tutorial exactly in which environment you should perform which action.

@@RVBoost Understood. Ok then, thank you so much

Hi Wejdan. There're more lines in there because I added some that fix errors people reported after the video. A common one is the way they copied and pasted text made all text become lowercase. What does your error say in full?

@@RVBoost I fixed the problem, thank you so much

Glad it worked out!

@@RVBoost Can I please have a copy of the Python script so I can continue modelling by following your instruction? Thanks.

First, make sure the script has been run at least ince to have some data to show. Then, hover your move over the lower right corner of a node. That should show the list.

Unfortunately as you have observed, Revit can't really do that. You can do this: knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/simplecontent/content/illuminance-rendering-revit.html on an exterior 3D view but the image will be very over-exposed. Grasshopper is probably the way to go.

Yes it will. Of course, you'll need to play with the panel size and angle to make it fit smoothly into your design :)

Sounds like you didn't change the Run Mode of Dynamo to Manual. Please check the video again to see how.

@@RVBoost sure,im will check and see again thankyou for tutorial

Thanks for getting and using the script! Yes, you can resize the curtain wall. It's not part of the Dynamo script though. The sizing is done in the massing environment by playing with the parameters of the divided surface. I've already shown how to do that in this video.

thankl you for your reply, can this be done with the model thats been purchased from the website? and how would i open the massing environment from the downloaded revit file? thank you

Yes, that file should work. To edit the building in the massing environment, first go to the Massing & Site tab and enable Show Mass. Then, select the building when it highlights as a single element. Finally, click the Edit Family button on the ribbon to enter mass editing mode.

which part of the video is that

Hi, looks like all text in my Python node was turned into lowercase when you copied and pasted into yours. Please make sure text doesn't change case when you copy it.

@@RVBoost Hello, the file that I downloaded does not open on my pc, it comes out as a file dyn file help

Thank you! The script is here: rv-boost.com/product/dynamo-script-create-adaptive-curtain-wall-with-multiple-attractors/

Hi, sounds like you didn't connect the right node to the IN[0] port on the last Python node of the script. IN[0] here must receive the list of panels from the "All elements fo family type" node, not a list of points.

Well.....not true. Selection and running Dynamo scripts are separate processes.

Please make sure you don't skip any step in the tutorial, especially in selecting the environment in which you run Dynamo (mass editor or in the project)

Sorry about that. Did you follow the copy instruction in the text file included with the download? What error did you get?

@@RVBoost Yes. I opened the Dynamo file I downloaded, copied the Python script, opened my original Dynamo file, and pasted the Python script into my file. Now I get the error TypeError : 'NoneType' object is not iterable [' File "", line 27, in ']

That error suggests one of the inputs to the Python node isn't of the expected data type or list/non-list structure. Please compare your script with the downloaded version to see how the nodes leading up to the Python one are different. You can also use the downloaded script directly without copying the Python node's content to your file.

You need to play with each point's "Measure from" parameter before this step. I also showed that in this video before the 4 minute mark.

@@RVBoost Thank you I fixed it. But I have another problem. 10:29 you can choose one by one these panels but I can't. I can just choose divided surface, i can not choose just one panel. what is the problem I dont know. Could you please help me?

You'll need to press Tab to highlight the panel before clicking it to select it.

Check the video description for a download link

Hi Marcela, please make sure the parameter is not read only. Test this by changing its value manually for 1 of your panel. If it's not read only, it will let you edit it. If not, make sure to follow exactly step by step in the tutorial how to create the panel famjly.

@@RVBoost Thank you very much! I was trying to make it work with a mass modeled in place inside a revit proyect, instead I tryed it on an mass family file and it worked perfectly!

Great! Glad you resolved the problem 😁

Sorry to hear that. What did the error say?

@@RVBoost “1/2 NameError: name ‘false’ is not defined [‘ File “”, line 3, in ’]

You need to open the downloaded script in Dynamo, open its Python node, and copy only what's in there to the Python node in your own script.

@@RVBoost I did do that. Is there any specific way I need to open the script? The paid downloaded script comes as a DYN file? Under “Dynamo-Facade with multiple attractor shapes”

Yes, you need to open the script specifically in Dynamo because it's a DYN file.

i mean..do you have to press ctrl or shift? or double click?

Just press tab a few times while hovering over a panel. The panel should then highlight and let you click to select it.

If that doesn't work then you probably missed one of the previous steps in the video. Please re-watch.

Make sure you're using Dynamo 2. Also, try to search in the "Library" panel on the left hand side of the right-click search doesn't show all results.

To make it work, Please don't skip or change any step showed in the video :)

You need to open the downloaded script in Dynamo, open the Python node in there, copy all text in it, close the script, open the script you created, open the Python node in it, paste the copied text in, and then run the script following the instruction in this video.

Please give me the dynamo file

Gonzalo, you'll need to hover your cursor over a panel, press Tab until it highlights, then click to select it.

@@RVBoost Thank you very much, excellent, I have been able to modify correctly. Greetings. :)

Great, glad I could help!

Hi! Please follow the link in the video description to download my script. Everything is in there 😊

@@RVBoost i can't find it, i found all of the dynamo script it's almost for 5$ but i wrote it i just need the text for python

Sure! I've put this on my list :)

Have you tried pressing Tab before clicking the panel?

@@RVBoost Thank you! it worked 👋🏻✨

Great 😃 Glad I could help 😁

What's the error?

@@RVBoost Warning: IronPythonEvaluator.EvaluateIronPythonScript operation failed. Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 2, in NameError: name 'false' is not defined Maybe I made a mistake somewhere

@@ronnykazadi559 Yeah that's a bit strange. I just double checked the Dynamo script and it still worked fine. There's also no "false" in the Python node. How about downloading it again from the website?

Hi Fila, thanks for getting the script file from us!! This Dyn file, you'll need to open it in Dynamo. Simply open Revit, open Dynamo, then open the script. You can then select the Python node and press Ctrl C to copy. Then, close our script, open your script in Dynamo, and press Ctrl V to paste the node in.

@@RVBoost ohhh nice , nice Thanks again . One more question ,how would you suggest I use it for a curved surface ....is it by using smaller shapes ?

Yes, please use smaller panels for a curved surface if you want a smooth pattern.

What will you make more than 2?

You can add this to the project as a mass family but the curtain panels will be for real.

You should use Dynamo 2 then, same version I used for this tutorial.

You can download the script from the video description which should work :) If not possible, please let me know which node you got the error on. That will give a hint on what went wrong.

@@RVBoost yes I did download it from the link in the description but still not working

Any news? I’ve got the same error

Which node gave you the error?

Where the Python script goes, it gives me the same error that on line 37

Hi Stan, that Python script is inside the Dynamo file you can download using the first link in this video description.

RV Boost I downloaded the dynamo file you uploaded but it wasn’t the full dynamo file...the steps when you added python script and beyond were missing. If you can add please!!!! 😁

Opps! I uploaded the wrong file. Thanks for pointing that out. The link is now corrected, please download again.

RV Boost LEGEND!!!!! Thanks a million!!! And great work by the way, all your videos on your site A+++

@@stelchor can you help me with the link to the right file as well?

After I bought the script from the site And copies made in payoth Dynamon There is no result

Sounds like your curtain panel family doesn't have the "Param1" parameter or it's named differently. Please make sure to add a parameter called "Param1" as showed in the tutorial. The name has to be exactly "Param1".

Let me know if the suggestion works :)

@@RVBoost hi

@@RVBoost I am currently facing a problem in a limit that exists now

it's here rv-boost.com/product/dynamo-script-create-adaptive-curtain-wall-with-multiple-attractors/

It probably needs to be a extra layer outside the wall

Hi.Glad you liked the video! Sounds like you made that Python node yourself? Please download it from the link in the video description to make sure it will work.

@@RVBoost Hi, I downloaded the script from the link and it still shows that's the exact same error...

Hi Luis. Did you copy what in my Python node to yours? If so, the error indicates that text was changed to lowercase during the copy. Please copy again without changing text case.

@@RVBoost Hi, now it does not show "error", but when I run Dynamo after the step of "Pythonscript" my family don't change the size as yours

Please check if you have created the panel family the same way I showed in the tutorial. Also, check that you use the exactly correct name of the parameter controlling the panels' opening size.

Hi, what elements do you want to change?

I mean, use the ellipses I drew

Yes. They should work if you drew them similarly to how I did in the tutorial 👍

Glad you liked it!
