Hello everyone,
I installed dynamo (2.13.0 version), and I installed refinery toolkit (1.1.1 verison). I tried to use it but I don’t know why there no button to run it and generate multiple design for my study.
I saw also there is generative design button that comes by default in dynamo which in my view do the same thing, so I want to know what is the difference between them ?
Thank you for your answer,
Amel
Refinery was generative design before it was integrated into Revit moreorless. Just use GD for Revit.
Refinery Toolkit are some nodes which were developed based on initial customer feedback for generative design (lower case meaning the verb, not the product) applications in a Revit context. There are useful nodes for things like bin packing, space planning, and visibility analysis (plan only). More info here: Refinery Toolkit - Dynamo BIM.
Project Refinery is the name for Generative Design before it was an official offering (beta tool). More info here: Project Refinery Beta | Autodesk
Generative Design is what Project Refinery evolved into. Youc an use Refinery Toolkit nodes in your generative design graphs, or other out of the box nodes. I recommend checking out the Generative Design primer here: https://www.generativedesign.org/
