First time coming to this channel, I had no idea Revit could do anything like what you're showing. I have been using it off an on for 7 years. Definitely getting a like and subscribe.
It was my first time watching a tutorial from you and doing it step by step, also you were the first one who convinced me to not freak out and keep up till the end to start using dynamo after designing projects with revit for more than 8 years now! excellent work! thanks :)
Just come across your channel today. I find many of your tutorial really helpful and interesting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making these videos :)
Very clear and comprehensive; I had no idea I could do this with Revit/Dynamo. Was meddling around with Rhino.Inside Revit and Grasshopper but converting geometry to and fro programs is indeed a nightmare. Thank you so much for this, I am infinitely grateful! subscribed.
@@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.
im looking for tutorials about this kind of design and yours helped me alot! it was so easy to follow, i just literally have to copy what you're doing and voila, it worked im so happyyy. thank you so much, Sir!!
Wow, first time I visit your channel, and boy do I have a lot of videos to go through suddenly.. Great job and level of modeling! Thanx for sharing :-) /Pat the swedish BIMmer..
@@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?
Great tutorial and generally your content is amazing. Can you make a tutorial on how to place facades or roof structures accurately on the project building. I'm having issues like facade and roofs glitching into the walls of my project building. I've been looking for a tutorial for that for a long time but couldn't find any.
Thank you for this great tutorial, can you please tell me how i can select and edit the family in the project to make them close because when i select them i can’t edit them
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.
Amazing tutorial. Thank you!!! Can this be done in the “In-place Mass” environment in a project file? From my (limited) dynamo experience, dynamo has a problem with accessing geometry created in the massing environment in project files.
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.
Hello, I am having trouble when associating Math.RemapRange list value to the false bracket of the If statement during the Dynamo script. When the value is more than 0.495 it replaces it with exactly 0.495 as it should, however, when it is lower it associates the whole list of values from Math.RemapRange to EACH of the false values. Have you experienced such an issue a know what may be causing it? Thanks.
Hi RV! Awesome tutorial as usual. I was wondering how you could hide the ellipse attractors after you have loaded the mass into the revit project. Your final furnished design has no ellipse boundaries, whilst the one you have demonstrated still has it.
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 😁
Great video. I followed your tutorial for a tall, twisting tower. The script works great for one ellipse shape. But as soon as I try to run to script with a second ellipse, the panels don't cut properly. Any suggestions? I'm sure it's giving me problems simply because it isn't a straight vertical wall, but surely there should be a way to get it to work.
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 for the TUT, simply amazing! However, in the case of having 3 unique size eclipses and 2 are cutting at the edge of the building like in your example there. Would it still create the same corner effect as shown in yours? because now you have 3 sets of different distances drawing from 3 different eclipses so eventually the opening areas will be different right?
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

Hello, I wanted to share with you my experience when implementing the tip for chamfering the angles, when i do it and I finish the model and close the edit mode, the panels recover the odd previous forms, why? any clue?
I have followed the instruction to 2/3 then I am stuck at where it requires Python script, 21:50. Can anyone please help me to get the script so I can continue and complete my learning?
Thank you for uploading a good video. There is a problem. My Revit version is 2018.3 and The dynamo version is 1.3.4.0. I copied what came out at 13:50. and I connected "family types" to "All elements of family type". However, the list does not appear in "All elements of family type" as in the video. so... what can i do?
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.
can this work to any shape ? i have a project design which is similar to zaha hadid style , and i wanted to have this kind of wall design, can i pull it off?
Thank you for the turtorial it helped me a lot! It gave me the exact error at the end and I don't know how to get the python note. I clicked on the link but couldn't find it. Is it priced?
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.
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.
@RV The Script doesn't really work , I've got the new version of Revit and there is asking for the code to provide on the new CPythonV3 . Can u fix that ?
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.
Hi there! just purchased because H needed the coding for the dynamo work! just wondering if there is anyway i can resize the custom adaptive curtain wall? I cannot seem to figure it out, can it be resized to custom parameters from the downloaded file? I tried to double click and change the profile of the wall but it did not work. hope to hear from you soon, thank you again
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.
Also can you please make a tutorial about how to make illuminance analysis with that kinetic panels on the building facade ? This is really important i think. Is there any way to make that analysis on dynamo ? Because i think Solar analysis on revit not work properly with families and groups. We have to use basic revit elements like wall, roof etc. But for example i have created al bahar tower facade and want to make illuminance analysis. How can i do that can you help me please ?
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.
Hello. I was watching a hole proces and then when came to download dynamo script there is no link for that, only some ad commercial. Something wrong with that link> Please I need help...
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/
Thank you for this helpful tutorial, when I download it and paste it in dynamo, it says error, there is too much lines in there more than in the tutorial. Do you know how to solve it please?
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?
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 :)
Hello! thank you for the video! I'm getting this message on the python node: "Warning: IronPythonEvaluator.EvaluateIronPythonScript operation failed. Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 36, in Exception: The parameter is read-only." Any suggestions on how to fix it?
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.

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.
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 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
Hi. Thank for the tutorial! I have a problem, I downloaded the script , and I’m following the steps , on my own project , by it doesn’t seem to be working. Could you help ?
@@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.

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.
How to get the python script. Should i buy the files necessary or its free

@RV
The Script doesn't really work , I've got the new version of Revit and there is asking for the code to provide on the new CPythonV3 .
Can u fix that ?
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.
Hi there! just purchased because H needed the coding for the dynamo work! just wondering if there is anyway i can resize the custom adaptive curtain wall? I cannot seem to figure it out, can it be resized to custom parameters from the downloaded file? I tried to double click and change the profile of the wall but it did not work. hope to hear from you soon, thank you again
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.
Also can you please make a tutorial about how to make illuminance analysis with that kinetic panels on the building facade ? This is really important i think. Is there any way to make that analysis on dynamo ? Because i think Solar analysis on revit not work properly with families and groups. We have to use basic revit elements like wall, roof etc. But for example i have created al bahar tower facade and want to make illuminance analysis. How can i do that can you help me please ?
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.
can you please help with this facade Al Bahr Towers

Hello. I was watching a hole proces and then when came to download dynamo script there is no link for that, only some ad commercial. Something wrong with that link> Please I need help...
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/
Thank you for this helpful tutorial, when I download it and paste it in dynamo, it says error, there is too much lines in there more than in the tutorial. Do you know how to solve it please?
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.
very nice...Thankyou
i have one problem
if im write select model elements in dynamo,it warns me: Run Completed with Warning
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! but cant select model elements in dynamo
To make it work, Please don't skip or change any step showed in the video :)
so after i finish this how to add it too my project ??
You can add this to the project as a mass family but the curtain panels will be for real.
There are blue dots in between all of my panels when working in the mass family. What is causing this?
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 :)
Why the step of element.getlocation doesn't appear in my dynamo?
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.
Hello! thank you for the video!
I'm getting this message on the python node:
"Warning: IronPythonEvaluator.EvaluateIronPythonScript operation failed.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 36, in
Exception: The parameter is read-only."
Any suggestions on how to fix it?
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 😁
Okay how do you add the panel to your walls In revit???
It probably needs to be a extra layer outside the wall
I don't have element getlocation in dynamo 1.3.4.0 what do I do now?
You should use Dynamo 2 then, same version I used for this tutorial.
Thanks for the video. Could you please share the Python Script needed for the Dynamo Script you mentioned in the video (21:22) Couldn't find it anywhere! Cheers!!!
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?
Very nice but what is the script text u used in python i need it plz i did everything step by step behind you all i need is just this text
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
great video , can u give me the Python script or can i download free ,, i don have a master card or paybal you will be a life savoir ❤❤
Would it work with Splines or points not only ellipse?
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.
GENIOUS that's all wut i can say.
Thanks! Glad you liked it 😁
when i do the reference lines, they become paired together...why is this...cant seem to get it to work
which part of the video is that
Hello sir need help asap I'm getting an error called
"IronPythonEvaluator.EvaluateIronPythonScript operation failed.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 35, in
AttributeError: 'Point' object has no attribute 'LookupParameter'
please help
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.
I did what've you done, but when I click on run in dynamo nothing happened, I'm begginer with dynamo, so I don't know what to do!!!!!!
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)
I buy the script from Patreon in advance but Im stuck at 13:42 I cant expand "All Elements of Family Types". But I still move on then Im stuck at 16:00 "Select Model Elements". Theres no showing up a selected Elipses in Revit to Dynamo. Please help me.
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
Hi. Thank for the tutorial! I have a problem, I downloaded the script , and I’m following the steps , on my own project , by it doesn’t seem to be working. Could you help ?
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
selection is disabled when dynamo run is disabled is there in way to resolve this error
Well.....not true. Selection and running Dynamo scripts are separate processes.
Hi, Thanks for the amazing video I have a problem, after pasting the file I get "IronPythonEvaluator.EvaluateIronPythonScript operation failed.

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.
What if we made it more than 2?
What will you make more than 2?
how did i get the python script which you pasted
Please follow the link in this video's description.
8:13
Must be your favourite part?
how did you select the each panel on 10:28 ? Please reply :( I tried everything. I cannot click the panel. Thank you for your respond!!!
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.
Hi I have downloaded the fie , however, i do not know how to copy this code into the Python node any steps on how that should be done? and what app opens the dyn file.
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.
Great tutorial. Thank you very much. But the script you send on your website does not work
What's the error?

@@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?
Can you please provide the python code ? Plzzz

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.
my python script i bought cannot use because it said name error : false is not defined
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.
Hi bro I have a problem at 4:09 of video. I did what you saidbut I had this warning: "There are identical points in the same place. Lines created from points may not work as expected." And I couldnt complete this step. Could you please help me? I did everything correct what you said up to this step.
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.
sorry, but script is not working

Can I use the downloaded dynamo file and only change the elements??
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 👍
Hi, just downloaded script and it doesnt't work. It says " File "", line 2, in

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
I bought the files in the description. When I try to copy and paste the Python script, it gives me an error. Can you help? I have never used Python before.
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.
Dear Sir
I have download the Dynamo script file ,, but it is not working ....
they said error opening corrupted file : C:\user\hp\Desktop\Dynamo\- Facade with multiple attractor shapes.dyn
Please i need your help :(
Regards
if you can send to me what you have written in python script , then i copy past it
please , i need it

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 😊
