Hello, Since yesterday I use the Dynamo Sandbox because the scripts are sometime really slow. I was wondered if it is possible to get the “Revit Nodes” back? [image]

Hi @jw.vanasselt …does Sandbox have revit nodes ??

Hi, Thanks for you’re reply Right now I don’t have the “Unresolved” nodes inside my Dynamo. (Sandbox) I was wondered if this is a setting or just not possible.

Hi…dont think its possible…

Sandbox only comes with non-integration specific nodes as far as I’m aware. It’s intended as a testing/raw environment for Dynamo itself (running with the Dynamo Core if I’m not mistaken). From what I understand it’s mainly used as a developer/testing environment for integrations like Monocle etc. as well as a way to access latest/WIP version of Dynamo.

Ah, that’s too bad. Maybe a good suggestion for the next update? :slight_smile: Sometimes it is not workable in Dynamo Revit and would like to be able to build the same scripts in Sandbox Thank you both!

I don’t think speed issues would be solved by putting Dynamo Revit into Dynamo Sandbox (and it isn’t the intended purpose of Sandbox anyway). They’re accessing the same libraries in either case (current/hypothetical) and relying on Revit/ASM to process objects like geometry so that’s where the speed issues come into play. I’d instead target why the script is slow instead, look for more efficient methods or ways that rely on less geometry which is typically Dynamo Revit’s weak point - for example maybe using element centroids versus geometry, or writing some steps in Python loops.

Think you can model and export to sat file and import to revit or dynamo for revit…

Thanks for the suggestion! I don’t know python yet but maybe something for the future!

10 part crash course if it helps. I made it to act as a ‘launching series’ into Python for Dynamo users. [Python 101 #1: Data Types]

I didn’t mention the DynaShape package which runs in Sandbox too.

There is also @Andreas_Dieckmann 's Journalysis nodes
