Python Template - Dynamo for Revit

Description

This repository contains a Python template designed to be used within the Python Script node in Dynamo for Revit workflows.

It includes a collection of libraries frequently utilized in my developments, alongside various methods and classes I sporadically employ.

The intention is to provide a foundational script that can be adapted and expanded upon for diverse and complex Revit automation tasks.

Configuration of Python Template in Dynamo for Revit

1. Download the latest release (clicking here) and find the PythonTemplate.py file.

2. Locate DynamoSettings.xml File: Navigate to %appdata%\Dynamo\Dynamo Revit\ and open the desired version.

3. Edit Template Path: Add or modify the <PythonTemplateFilePath> line in the DynamoSettings.xml file to:

   <PythonTemplateFilePath>
      <string>C:\Users\{CURRENTUSER}\AppData\Roaming\Dynamo\Dynamo Revit\{VERSION}\PythonTemplate.py</string>
   </PythonTemplateFilePath>

   Replace {CURRENTUSER} with your windows username and {VERSION} with your dynamo current version.

4. Add Template File: Copy and paste the PythonTemplate.py file in the same location specified in the step #3.

Best Practices

• Documentation: Comment your code generously. Explain what each major block or function does, especially if the logic is complex.
• Error Handling: Always include error handling to manage and anticipate failures gracefully.
• Version Control: Keep track of changes and versions of your scripts, especially as they grow in complexity and number.
