Another Great tutorial, will definately save time in the future :) I have a question pegging back off a previous tutorial re - Project browsers. Have you found some way of preventing other users from changing the project browser settings? Drives me mad when others change it and when I syncronise I get their settings. I know I should set an office standard and tell people not to change it but some people just wont change their workflow.
Unfortunately there isn't really a way to lock this in aside from changing it as a user account, not synchronizing and closing the file. I believe this may lock down more than just this setting however so probably isn't a safe approach. Just keep slapping the users each time they change it until they get sick of it I guess haha.
Hello Gavin! Great video as alsways! Us as community will be very happy for the time you made us save! I need to ask you something that is not related to this topic but i try and i hope to get a feedback: do you know hot to get the moment of inertia I, J, K of an element using dynamo? or do you know at least where to start!? Thanks again in advance! Francesco
I can't say I've seen a way to do this, as calculating intertia involves various formulae, so unless someone builds these into a node or package it's pretty much a matter of calculating this using the profile section. I believe some people use Robot or Skyciv for this, and then send the data back via raw format like .csv or .xcl to reintroduce to their family types. There's a calculator here as an example, but it does box sections: skyciv.com/free-moment-of-inertia-calculator/ Maybe check out 'Brendan Hasty' on RUclips, he'll have a method for this I bet - although it probably doesn't use Dynamo.
Sir is it possible to create a brick facade where each brick is rotated in such an angle so as to respond to the sun path analysis of the building like achieving shade during summers along with allowing solar penetration during winters . If possible please consider making a video on it! Thank you :)
Yes it's definitely possible, but I wouldn't use Dynamo for this - I'd use Rhino Inside. See this tutorial for a reference of how to influence elements in Revit using the sun incidence; ruclips.net/video/SqJbcFId7fw/видео.html
If there isn't one already one on the subject that I missed, may I suggest a tutorial on placing with dynamo stair paths throughout the project, probably by selected views? Copied stairs or lately created plan views are always a problem in this matter. Thanks
I haven't seen a video anywhere on this, but the API looks fairly straightforward. Check this thread out here; forum.dynamobim.com/t/place-stairpaths/15612
Actually, I saw this thread in the past and I knew there will come a day when I'll have to dig into Revit API. I will check it as soon as I can. Thanks!
Yo Gavin, hopefully you'll see this. I suppose I could also use this method if I wanted a riser that is narrower than the stair width? Or for that matter to model the steal plate under the tread in a stair with a single middle support?
Technically you can develop any stair based shape usinf this array technique, but they dont have any control or response to the base stair itself unfortunately.
That’s pretty neat! I doesn’t happen often that Revit or “Crashit 😅”crashes on me, but it has difficulties saving sometimes, it often complains about a sharing violation and I’ll have to retry about 2 times before it saves without the “save failed” message. We are using a network drive, but I’ve had this problem since I’ve upgraded to version 2020. With version 2013 I never had that problem.
Yeah I've found as any piece of software I use goes on it gets less stable. I think as the NET framework and other dependencies of the program evolve, and Revit doesn't it will encounter more errors that weren't allowed for in the handling process'.
Dear Gavin, I have tried this technic for my modelling. But my problem is that i cannnot link the array stair with the stair width parameter. Can you show me the technic?
The arrayed, nested family will need its own width parameter connected to the width parameter at the level of the array family. It isn't linkable to a Revit stair itself however.
Dude... where is the cat? You're downplaying the validity (???) of this method, but I think it's quite versatile. Granted, there's a void in Revit's stair function that's screaming for this, but all things considered, once you've set up the (one-time) framework for your method, it's actually really useful.

That revit crash made me chuckle🤣
Gotta keep Autodesk honest!
Awesome tutorial Gavin, At BIM Guru you touch topics that makes Revit life easier.. :)
Thank you so much.. keep sharing
You're welcome! Will do.
Great Video Gavin. Really helpful. Will have to go back and re-create my previous attempt to this one which is more streamlined.
Glad to provide an alternative method!
another great tutorial! Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
Super Excellent as usual thanks alot
You're welcome!

I added a node to my custom package in the latest build which can add stair paths by view, stair and type (Crumple).
Thanks a lot!

Make your own family templates without materials, hatch patterns etc. and you won't need to purge anything
Yes indeed, i have done just that for my business templates. Good pointer.

Can you make video on stair family that can be joined with walls and floors
I dont make videos anymore, but there should be some threads on revit forum dicussing this issue.
@@AussieBIMGuru Thanks for your reply.
