    Hello Konrad,

    please help me! :-) I have a big-big problem. I see this node at you: Add Shared Parameter to Project. This is very usefull but I’d like add type parameter to an existing family. But nowhere on internet I can’t abel to find any info about this how can be done it. Would you please send me an solution how can I add type (or instance) parameter to an family?

    thanks you at advance! Tom

  2. Dear Konrad, I am working in the field of BIM and like to use your website and publication as a reference in my trainings. I need to learn Dynamo some day – until then I would like to give my clients a hint where they can find good information. I do like your website and would be happy if I can use your references – clearly marked as reference. cheers

    I wonder if anyone could help, struggling to populate titleblock parameters via dynamo.
    1) Titileblock family which has Label family that carries parameters, those were populated in project via assigning new shared to sheets.
    2) When I try to get these parameters on Dynamo to be populated I cannot find a way of doing so. It seems that the reason is they are nested label parameters.

    Any Ideias?

    Hi Konrad,

    I’m trying to find your node GetDocuments and can’t seem to place it in the library.

    Can you point me in the right direction to find it please.

    Thanks in advance

    Kind regards

    Sergio

    Hi Konrad

    I have been using your warnings parser workflow for some time now.
    I just had to update it to Revit 2019 and I am receiving an error in the identical instance portion of the script. In addition, it does not seem like you can link the report to the pdf option to print. I think this issue is only prevalent in 2019 as i have not had problems in 2017 & 2018 other then versioning. I can send the script over if youd like to have a look.
    Thank you for your time.

    Hi Konrad,

    I hope this message finds you healthy. I discovered your blog from your videos. I’m currently working to automate responsive wall design with grasshopper. I have found videos that mainly use solar arc connect with the attractor of the design like the famous al-bahr tower.

    The idea is to use external sensors and arduino but I am having problem on finding way to connect the wall design on rhino+GH with arduino. Like in the examples i mentioned above, you may manually manipulate the position of the sun and the “wall” will open/ close in response to the sun position. What I’m trying to do is to have external sensors connected and the “wall” will respond. But in this case, do i connect each point attractor in the geometry with ext. sensor( since i cant manually change the position of the sensor like the solar arc) and the wall will respond in GH. I know if i do this with real prototype, i’ll have sensors and servo connected at each point i’d want the wall to respond. But how do I do it in rhino+GH? Do you have any idea?

    Thank youuuu!!!

    • Sorry, but I don’t usually reply to “can you do my homework” type of questions. Also, your question is very non-specific, there are no images, sample files etc. I have no idea what you are asking for. Sorry, I can’t help.

    Hi Konrad,

    I came across your blog when I was looking up methods to extract family/element on particular view in Revit using Dynamo. I just want to say thank you for developing archi-lab plug-in for dynamo. It really helps me in streamlining my workflow. Been using Dynamo since 2019 and I’ve only start to get the sense on how it works just recently.

    I’ve wandered around your website, read about you and reading your portfolio section and I am so impressed and it makes me wonder how did you end up become a computational design specialist. I work as a BIM Consultant for a sports venue architecture firm and has been working on parametric modelling using grasshopper and some sort of BIM model management using dynamo. However, the computational design work is not my day-to-day responsibility but rather an occasional work depending on the project need and I don’t think it’s enough for me to develop an expertise as Do you have any advice for a rookie on how to specialize in this particular field while working at one firm?

    I do have a specific question regarding archi-lab plug-in but i don’t think this is the right section to post it. Do you have any particular section for questions?

    Thanks and keep up the great work mate!

    • I don’t think I was a Computational Design Specialist ever in my life. I was more on a BIM Management side of things throughout my career. It was pretty typical. I was a designer once, then we worked on a project that was heavy on Revit, I got into BIM Management, then I worked at a company where we did more complicated projects, so my BIM Management skills needed an upgrade. I learned programming and started writing my own tools. It’s a pretty typical progression out of the design world into the digital/tech world. I do mostly software development these days.

      You can ask plugin specific questions here: https://github.com/ksobon/archilab/issues

      Cheers!

Moreover, I never get past 3D modelling when using parametric tool and never got the chance to use them in documentation process.

    Do you have any advice for a rookie on how to specialize in this particular field while working at a firm?

    I do have a specific question regarding archi-lab plug-in but i don’t think this is the right section to post it. Do you have any particular section for questions?

    PS: I wrote a sentence with improper grammar in my previous comment that might give you hard time understanding it. do you mind delete my previous comment? Apologies English is not my first language.
