Jeremy Roh has created some decent tutorial content and shared it on Youtube, covering topics such as Revit, conceptual modelling and Dynamo. One of his recent playlists is embedded here:

Adam Sheather, aka gytaco, has put out some pretty interesting content in the past week. He was trying to solve a programming puzzle to do with pre-cast panels, molds, concrete curing etc. Based on his post and video, he punched a heap of programme data in Excel, made Dynamo read and write to his master spreadsheet, and then got Dynamo to push some data into some Revit families with arrays so that he could visualise his pre-cast yard at a given point in time. Very smart stuff!
As Adam says, the Excel-Dynamo-Revit solution can:
“effectively give me a week by week view of what the precast yard will look like based on the updated Revit data, installation dates, actual to date and the pre-cast managers forecasting all in one. Plus I would be able to tag and print out if required the information!”

And one final Dynamo tip from his post:
Due to the lack of nodes, familiarity and examples in 7.1 I ended up ditching it and jumping back to 0.6.3 which had alot more examples including both the Solar Optimizer and nodes I thought I needed for input/out of excel files that were not in 7.1.

Konrad has posted a video along with Dynamo nodes to demonstrate the management of tags based on their host type. Fire rated walls receive a certain tag, while non-fire rated receive a different one.
This is just one example showing that Dynamo isn’t just good for form creation. It has a legitimate role among the Python / Ruby / vanilla macro / API addin realm of Revit modification and customization.

Konrad Sobon has put together a Dynamo definition that parses a Warning HTML from Revit, picks out those associated with a particular warning type, and then lists the associate element IDs so they can be isolated in a view. What Revit Wants is this kind of cool.

Check out the solution suggested by Andreas Dieckmann:
“I ended up using one of Python’s abilities to handle lists which is called groupby() because I did not want my head to hurt thinking about how to go about this in Dynamo… 😉
Here’s how:
- Sort list by X values using the method Steve explains above
- Sort list by Z values
(Notice that within each group of equal Z values, the X values retain their order from the previous sort operation) - Create a list of lists with XYZ values (sublist 0) and just Z values (sublist 1)
- Group that list of lists by the Z values (using a custom node with some Python code inside)
- Extract only the list of lists of XYZs by combining two map nodes
You will need the package Group List of Lists By Key for this to work.
(For what it’s worth, I also uploaded another package called Sort List Of Lists this week which was related to that project but isn’t needed here. But it might be worth checking out, too.)”
