Hello everyone,
At AU2023 this year, we ran a Dynamo Beginner Workshop that took users through a nothing to complete graph in one of two use cases; Revit and Civil 3D. You can read all about it in the Workshop Handout.
Revit
In the Revit use case, we opted for an historical and typical approach of Renumber Rooms by Spline that has made the rounds on this Forum for many years.
The premise is simple, you draw a Spline on any given level in Revit and Dynamo will renumber Rooms (But you could tweak to be any other family) based on their proximity to that line and the direction of it.
The graph is hyper annotated, so that you can read not just what the node does, but why we chose that node in this workflow.
With an accompanying visualization (Courtesy of the Blue node block) that shows which Rooms are being pulled through and their relationship to the Spline.
You can download the Dynamo Graph here, fully annotated in all it’s glory!
Civil3D
In the Civil 3D use case, we took a similar approach from a Node perspective (Overall count and similar process) to Measure and annotate the distance of Trees to a Road.
The premise is simple, you collect all your COGO points that are described as Trees, select a Road line of your choice and Dynamo will calculate the distance between that Tree and the nearest point on that road line and annotate it for you.
The graph is hyper annotated, so that you can read not just what the node does, but why we chose that node in this workflow.

You can download that graph and it’s accompanying DWG dataset here:
Huge shout-out on the Civil3D dataset to @JowennLua and @mzjensen!
