Racel Amour

Summer is coming to an end (in the northern hemisphere), but have no fear! We have been working hard all summer to help you get Fall off to a great start. We just released 0.8.2, and we just reached 100,000 Dynamo package downloads! We are proud to announce some exciting new features that will certainly make it faster and easier for you to create sophisticated workflows.

Node and Package Paths

Tired of reimporting packages and nodes? You can now define multiple paths so that nodes and packages will automatically show up in the Library. This even works over shared network folders, so feel free to share your custom nodes and packages with your work friends and make collaboration that much easier. Customize your paths under Settings.

Presets

Ever find yourself thinking, “Man, I really wish I could save the state of my input nodes?” Well, stop thinking and just do it. With 0.8.2, we are introducing Presets, which are a great way for you to track the state of your input nodes. Want to play around with different design options? Now you can, just select one or more input nodes and visit Edit > Presets.

Node2Code

“DesignScript is so cool, but I don’t know how to use it : ( ” Node2Code allows you to convert a set of nodes into DesignScript. Didn’t think it could be that easy, did you?

In-Canvas Search

“That was so fast!”. Searching for nodes has never been this easy. Just right-click to bring up the new In-Canvas Search feature and access nodes without ever having to leave the canvas. It has all the great features of Library search like node description tooltips.
