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.

This product is perhaps typical of something that seems as though it was conceived in the 90's and has seen various appendages since, none of which do their job particularly well. Nothing in this system is efficient and all its processes demand a huge, close to maximum possible level of human effort. No doubt many companies, such as my own are spend huge amounts of money for the debateable privilege of tripling their employees workload and making them as inefficient as possible to make the administration of the system seem more important than it actually is.

Windchill is an extremely verbose and unintuitive system, with masses of unnecessary duplication of fields, convoluted workflows, unclear roles and terrible search capabilities. It is one of the worst software products I have ever seen to propose solving something that is actually factors quicker to do with manual writing and paper work

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.
