Luckily, an industry-proven visual programming environment, powered by the Dynamo engine and accessed via Dynamo for Revit and Autodesk <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/dynamo-studio\/overview\">Dynamo Studio<\/a>, helps combat this problem.\u00a0 Designed to work within a Revit environment, Dynamo for Revit extends building information modeling with the data and logic environment of a graphical algorithm editor. Dynamo Studio, launched at <a href=\"http:\/\/inthefold.autodesk.com\/in_the_fold\/2015\/05\/autodesk-launches-dynamo-studio-and-formit-360-pro-at-aia.html\">AIA 2015<\/a>, is a standalone programming environment that lets designers create visual logic to explore parametric conceptual designs and help automate tasks while working untethered from Revit.<\/p>\n<p>Dynamo also helps extend your designs into interoperable workflows for documentation, fabrication, coordination, simulation, and analysis.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/inthefold.autodesk.com\/.a\/6a017c3334c51a970b01b7c85cd0a5970b-pi\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a017c3334c51a970b01b7c85cd0a5970b image-full img-responsive\" title=\"Rapid iteration of design concepts\" src=\"http:\/\/inthefold.autodesk.com\/.a\/6a017c3334c51a970b01b7c85cd0a5970b-800wi\" alt=\"Rapid iteration of design concepts\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><em>Dynamo Studio\u2019s visual interface allows for easy and fast iteration of design concepts.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nSean Burke, digital practice BIM leader and senior associate at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbbj.com\/\">NBBJ<\/a> notes that his team is using Dynamo to extract intelligence from a client\u2019s legacy DWG files and bring them into Revit as native linework.
