On this episode of BIM After Dark Live I will be joined by a very special guest, Marcello Sgambelluri. Marcello was on the show a few months ago and mentioned a book he was writing... Well, that book is now available!
"The Dynamo and Grasshopper for Revit Cheat Sheet/Reference Manual" is 272 pages of pure awesomeness. Marcello includes hundreds of working Dynamo scripts and their working counterpart in Grasshopper (for Revit).
We will be talking about the book, showing some examples, and demonstrating how knowing BOTH of these tools expands the functionality of Revit for you.
Be sure to join us live so you can ask questions, hang out with us, and learn more about these two extremely powerful tools we have at our disposal...
