A few lessons in… something unexpected happened. It felt familiar . Uncomfortably familiar. And then it hit me: “This is exactly like the flowcharts we learned in school.” That single realization changed my entire approach to Dynamo. A Quick Trip Back to School Days If you are from the 80s or 90s generation , you probably remember: Drawing flowcharts in notebooks Using Start / Process / Decision / End symbols Connecting everything with arrows Learning logic before even touching a computer Back then, we didn’t call it programming logic .

  DESIGN OPTIONS Revit Design Options: Streamlining Alternative Designs in a Single Model In architectural design, iteration is everything. Whether you're exploring multiple roof styles, entry layouts, or interior configurations, Revit’s Design Options feature allows you to test alternatives without duplicating your model. This guide walks through how to set up, manage, and troubleshoot Design Options effectively. What Are Design Options? Design Options in Revit let you explore multiple design solutions within a single project file. Instead of creating separate models for each variation, you can build and compare alternatives side-by-side—saving time, improving coordination, and simplifying client presentations. Use Cases Include: Comparing different façade treatments Exploring room layouts or circulation paths Testing structural or MEP configurations Each Design Option Set focuses on a specific design challenge (e.g., entry layout), and contains multiple Options (e.g., Entry A,...
