A while back, I took the plunge and tried to learn Dynamo. As a Grasshopper user, it was quite frustrating knowing the computational workflow required but not the equivalent commands in Dynamo. After a lot of research, I developed this primer which contains tips and translations to help Grasshopper users learn Dynamo. I hope that you find it useful in migrating your Grasshopper skills into Dynamo.
A best practice guide with key concepts and tips for creating digital fabrication models using Grasshopper and Rhino.
Use Dynamo to automatically renumber the detail number parameter of viewports placed on sheets, streamlining documentation.
Learn how to use Dynamo to batch update the crop region of axonometric views with a consistent buffer offset.
Learn how to use Dynamo to automate the batch creation of multi-category schedules for use in a room data sheet.

Mr Campo! Thanks. I hadn’t seen this before. Andrew does some great work and this video is pretty clear. A few minor updates have changed since it was published but nothing critical.

It’s interchangeable too! I’ve used it a bunch of times now as a “Grasshopper for Dynamo users” guide 🙂 Thanks!

Glad you liked it Alexi. Thanks for the feedback. I am currently in the process of writing v2 which should be released within a month or so. I’ll keep you posted.
