Nice example of managing data to beat limitations, and congrats on tutorial #1! Protip someone shared with me recently, if you use the Function.Apply node with the Element.Name node as the function it will generate nulls but it wont generate a warning in the process. Keeps the Player implementations nice and clean :)
Thank you for the tutorial @DanamoBIM. I find Dynamo, and other visual languages, fascinating. I disagree, though, with one point you made, you are absolutely 100% a coder.
Little trick for the download from notion, if you click on the script and then right click and save as, you'll get a .txt, save that, then rename as a .dyn and it works perfectly!
In this specific example you could have simply sorted the walls by phasecreated 'not' showing every individual wall. Then you can put the phase-text into the comments. Schedules can also be also very smart data-edit-tools.
Very great point, Rene! The beauty of Dynamo is that it does all fields at once (rather than individual groups, manually) which can be more efficient than having to type in the phases, especially if there are MANY phases :) Also, this works with many parameters (see description) AND Dynamo Player :D
Definitely a cool trick to know. Personally I like to use Selection Sets for unfilterable parameters. You can create them fairly easily through Dynamo once you've grabbed all the relevant elements and then its dead simple to create a filter from them. Have used this a few times for Phase-related filters but it is mostly useful (and used on almost every job) for wall sweeps and slab edges. Just have to make sure the script is Dynamo Player-compatible and you can run it whenever needed to update the Selection Sets.
I am trying this script. it seems that doesn't work If I have multi phases . Is it possible to change the script to copy the phase created on all the category (walls, doors,etc ) or in a list of categories. I like the idea of colours phase by view filters but in the past i did manually
I'm not sure what you mean by "multi phases".. could you clarify? I have multiple phases within the sample file that I demonstrated the workflow in :) you could change the category in the drop down "categories" node at the beginning of the script to update different phases - in the end of the video I demonstrate updating the curtain wall panels hope that helps! :) Thanks for watching!
Ur background view is awesome ☺️

thanks for the tip Gavin!!!!
Orange nulls value breaks my orkestra dash by reporting a fail. Thanks for helping me fix it.

Great video! As a Dynamo noob, I can already see many uses for this script. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks a bunch Dana. I’ve done this manually a few times but the time saved with Danamo is amazing

I zipped the files together - I think this will help with the download :)
@@DanamoBIM works perfectly
Great video, thank you for sharing!
DanamoBIM... love it!
Great job! Got me thinking of what great things I can make.
Danamo! you are the best :)

So I do this prior to binding an MEP model, I use Dynamo to 'reset' the phases of the elements
@DanamoBIM is there any way to Cope TRUSS family by Dynamo at onces?

Do infill walls have hosts/parent walls? Could you find the host then apply the same phase to the infill?
Alex - YES!! I played with this idea and posted the script to notion (link in description)
Let me know if it works for you :)
Works great, I would have guessed host element, not dependent. Thanks for solving!
@@iamgandI1986 thanks for watching!!
@@DanamoBIM Thx Dana
can I get revit software setup?
can you send me this plan so that I can follow with you, and thank you very much
this model comes with the Revit sample files :) (Advanced)
@@DanamoBIM ok thank you
