Modify Revit Families and Family Types with Dynamo

So, today we’re going to see a simple yet handy Dynamo workflow to rename a bunch of families in your Revit project using Dynamo player.

Now this Dynamo graph combines two routines — to add prefix and/or suffix to either families (loadable) or family types.

We have set all our 4 input nodes as inputs in Dynamo and it’s ready to go in Dynamo player.
Don’t forget to load the required packages. Browse the script in Dynamo player and edit the inputs.

The prefix or suffix fields could be kept empty in case you don’t want any one of them. The boolean input could toggle between modifying family name or family type name.

3D printable files in Dynamo

STL and OBJ files have become a standard in the 3D printing industry. Many 3D modeling and computer graphics programs such as Autodesk Maya, Blender, Sketchup, Cinema 4D can produce these models in a pretty nifty manner.

For color 3D printing with precise mesh encoding, OBJ files prove to be a useful format while preserving the precise mesh encoding. You may get yourself a free 3D model from Oyonale.

You can see the 3D model in any free 3D object viewer. The 3D Viewer from Microsoft is a great application that comes with Windows 10.
