Description
Coordinating Revit curtain wall layouts with configurable manufactured panel units is often manual, slow, and difficult to validate at scale. In this hands-on lab, you will use custom Dynamo nodes backed by the Informed Design API to connect a Revit curtain wall layout to a configurable unitized panel. Starting from a prepared model and scaffolded graph, participants will extract panel dimensions, send geometric data to the Informed Design API, and generate a complete manufacturing data set with shop drawings and parts lists. We'll generate a report highlighting supported, unsupported, and changed panel conditions in Revit. And we'll unpack the API concepts behind the nodes so you can adapt the workflow to your own products.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to extract panel dimensions and identifiers from a Revit curtain wall using a scaffolded Dynamo workflow.
- Learn how to use prebuilt Informed Design Dynamo nodes to pass panel dimension data to an Informed Design product definition.
- Learn how to connect and automate the creation of a manufacturing data set, including shop drawings and bills of materials.
- Learn about feedback product rules and compatibility constraints to validate Informed Design products against a curtain wall grid layout.
