    Dynamo BIM

    Score8 out of 10
    N/ADynamo is an open-source software platform for computational design and building information modeling (BIM). Through a visual interface, construct logic routines to smooth and automate workflows, find optimum solutions, and sift through design options. The commercial product Dynamo Studio is discontinued and will be excluded from Autodesk's suite of products (capabilities of Dynamo Studio now appear as part of Revit itself). However, Dynamo’s open-source version still works with Autodesk Revit…

    Dynamo is the main tool for making BIM automation very well . By using Dyanmo our work take less time to complete. After correct Dynamo script applying in Revit most of the time work take less time to complete in a smart way . I think coding and Dyanmo will make a better combination in BIM field.

    ORD is really focused on modeling of roads infrastructure projects, but includes a few design workflows that are in other disciplines such as stormwater and drainage design and site modeling tools for developments. This is really handy because you don't need a third-party application that you have to transfer your design files over to to carry on with the project. Including LumenRT for free with ORD is by far the most helpful feature because of the visualisation capabilities which most software does not include. ORD is well-suited for what the name of the product says - designing roads. I wouldn't say there are any scenarios in road design that it is less appropriate for.

    Pros
    Autodesk
    • I create a Dyanmo script for placing a light family in all over model in a single click with maintaining a standard.
    • I can create a Dyanmo script for PDF creation of my all 2d sheets .
    • I can create a Dyanmo script to cut my whole pipe in a standard pipe length in a single click .

    • Creating linear models, since the app is based on alignment models and templates to extrude along the alignment.
    • Precise long section/profile along horizontal alignment. The app practically flatten the horizontal alignment for profile generation.
    • Template control. Though the template creation takes a bit of effort to create due to the point rulings. However when done right allows the model to be specifically modified with use of functions like super-elevation, point control, widening, parametric etc.

    • For making a dyanmo script we should do alot of work and I think this news to be smart.
    • Dyanmo with navisworks is require
    • Dynamo free tutorial is to be shared by company.

    I think Dyanmo is a basic to advance version of automation in BIM Industry so we choose Dynamo against any other software. Many of our people knows about the software so training of this software is become easy for organisation. On YouTube we have found many videos about Dyanmo. Most important it take less money and save very much time of our employees.

    ORD is a lot faster and a lot more modern than Civil 3D even though they're essentially the same product under different names (in terms of workflows). I find that the DGN file format used by ORD is far better than the DWG file format used by C3D because DGNs can contain much more information and multiple models per file. C3D is very heavy on memorizing keyboard inputs while ORD is a much more modern interface that relies mostly on using the mouse for inputs.
