Dynamo is available in the same languages that Revit is available in—English, Czech, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. For more detail, see this blog post.

If you have a wish or you would like to report that something may be wrong, the best places to share are the forum or Dynamo’s Github site.

Custom nodes are containers for other nodes, and custom node definitions are saved as separate files (with extension .dyf) so that they can be shared between multiple projects and multiple users. If a custom node is unresolved in your Dynamo file, it means that Dynamo could not find its definition when the program started. Check that you have the custom node file and that it is saved where Dynamo can find it. If the custom node came from a package, make sure you have the appropriate version of that package installed.

Official releases of Dynamo are posted on this site about every two months. These are available from the the home page or the download page. There are also pre-release builds posted to the download page as often as several times per day. Pre-release builds, or “daily builds” represent cutting edge development and we only recommend using official release builds for professional work.

We’re glad you asked!  The Dynamo community is broad and diverse, including designers, architects, and engineers all over the world.  The forum and Dynamo’s Github site are active places of exchange.  Follow us on Twitter for updates and news.

Dynamo is best known for its ability to work with Autodesk Revit files by running natively as an add-in.  But in any version of Dynamo, you can also work with other programs via packages and imported libraries (see the issue above to help you work with packages).  A short list of programs and packages includes Civil 3d, Alias Design, Formit, and  Advance Steel.

Dynamo is a platform for computational design.  Dynamo is a tool to help designers create the rules for a design workflow, and Dynamo performs the calculations or operations a user has requested.  Many processes are rules-based, everything from drawing lines to optimizing a design based on multiple, unique criteria.  If the problem you want to solve can benefit from automation and you can describe what you want to do, Dynamo can help.  Read more about what Dynamo is and does at the Dynamo Primer.

Everyone has their own learning style, and we try to support as many methods for learning as we can.  For a structured approach to learning Dynamo for computational design, see the resources on the  learn page including the Dynamo Primer video tutorials, and supplemental resources.  For notated examples, see the sample content available directly through the Dynamo product under the Help menu.
