So last week we looked at taking that manual information and replacing it with information that came from reporting global parameters and that was a valuable approach because it automatically reacts to changes in the model, but there's still a somewhat tedious set up process required to get that solution going. This week what I'd like to do is look at another alternative using Dynamo. Dynamo is a visual programming interface that's built right into Revit and allows you to access programmatic functions and so what we're going to do is using Dynamo we'll build a simple graph that will read all of the room elements in our model, figure out…
