How to use Dynamo Player?

Dynamo Player is a quick and easy way to run your Dynamo routines or scripts. It provides a visual user interface where you do not have to worry about all the nodes, wires, and the back-end stuff. It is just like any other music player to run the .dyn files. It proves to be most helpful when you have to run the same script over and over again in a Revit project.

To use the Dynamo Player:

  • Go to Manage > Dynamo Player
  • Browse the folder where all the Dynamo files (*.dyn) are kept.
  • Now all the scripts from the folder will be loaded to your current session.
  • This is a one-time set-up you can open Dynamo Player anytime to run any script directly without having to open Dynamo.

How do I enable my Dynamo scripts to run into Dynamo Player?

  • Open any Dynamo graph
  • Define all the inputs — right-click the node and select Is Input. Do not forget to rename the node.
  • Optional: Define all the outputs — right-click the node and select Is Output. Do not forget to rename the node.
  • Once you have set-up all the inputs and outputs in a Dynamo graph save the file. It is now ready to run on the Dynamo Player.
