So revitAttac converts DWG to Revit elements? Great summary, handy for people coming up to speed. The net8 change will be interesting, maybe a good thing for unsupported tools that hung on for dear life. Fortunate that most firms wont be in 2025 too soon! Align annotations is a welcome change. Hopefully eventually we see prefiltering with iselectionfilter, users at work love the tools I've built using it for quick selections vs filtering back slow ones. Feels like a tool that was built for it but never used completely above the hood to its full potential.
I definitely like to “pre-filter” for selection based tools as well. I tend to collect elements that are allowed during a known slow process like syncing (utilizing an event handler). That way I have those elements stored somewhere already for quick access.
I need to do a massive rehaul of the custom tools we have but I am still pretty new to it all. Do you have any recommendations on sites I can use to help me learn what each node does? I would prefer to use only native nodes and only use packages sparingly if possible because managing them is a hassle and getting an entire team to set up their file locations can be taxing as well for this to work in multiple offices. I saw a video from BIM Guru talking about how this new change will probably weed out and make a few packages obsolete is no one cares enough to update them. I am just not sure of the best resources to learn each of the nodes. I have tried looking into the Dynamo website but I feel like its just as confusing there to understand what everything does. Any thoguths?
Also, if anyone is looking to learn the Revit API, check out my C# course here! courses.designtechunraveled.com/coding-new-nodes-with-csharp
Now waiting for the new & tasty 2025 API docs
Absolutely! I really wish they came out at the same time!

Pretty cool and exciting 😎
Definitely!

The best thing to do to learn about each node is to use the right click help. A lot of nodes now have documentation that shows either a sample file.
dyno browser does not work with Revit 2025? is there an Alternative add-in?
Orkestra, Nonica come to mind. And I will be updating Relay this week. github.com/johnpierson/Relay
@@DesignTechUnraveled I tried nonica and also does not work with 2025
I am waiting your update on Relay
Thank you so much
you forgot VS Code integration.
Oh yeah! That is a great add as well. Admittedly, I don't do a lot with the macro manager though.
I believe you have used Dynamo 0.6.3 first :)
😁
First time using dynamo was 0.96
Oooh. Those were cool versions. So close to 1.0!
