Dynamo Python Templete

• Introduction: This template provides a starting point for programmers using Dynamo Python. It speeds up the development process by providing a basic structure and essential code snippets to create custom nodes and scripts in Dynamo.

Features:

• Streamlined Development: The template includes a standardized structure, making it easier to organize and maintain code. It saves time by eliminating the need to set up the initial framework manually.

• Enhanced Functionality: The template offers prewritten code snippets for commonly used functionalities, such as data manipulation, geometry processing, and file import/export. These snippets can be customized and extended to fit specific project requirements.

• Increased Reusability: By using this template, developers can create custom nodes and scripts that can be reused in multiple projects. This promotes code consistency and reduces duplicate effort.

• Seamless Integration: Dynamo Python templete seamlessly integrates with Dynamo's visual programming interface, allowing programmers to combine the power of Python scripting with Dynamo's data manipulation capabilities.

Template Structure:

To get started, follow these steps:

1. Create a new Python Script node in Dynamo.

# Markdown: Step 1 - Create a Python Script node.

2. Copy and paste the template code into the Python Script node.

# Markdown: Step 2 - Copy the template code.
import clr
# Add necessary libraries

# Define input and output ports

# Define custom functions

# Define main script logic

# Markdown: Continue with further steps as needed.

3. Customize the necessary parts of the template:

• Add any required libraries by importing them using the import statement.

• Define input and output ports using the provided syntax.

• Implement custom functions or modify existing ones to match your requirements.

• Write the main script logic by combining various functions and manipulating the data.

Example Code:

Below is an example code snippet, demonstrating a simple data manipulation function:

# Markdown: Example Code
def multiply_values(x, y):
    return x * y

A = IN[0]
B = IN[1]
result = []

for i in range(len(A)):
    result.append(multiply_values(A[i], B[i]))

OUT = result

This code multiplies corresponding elements in two input lists, A and B, and outputs the result.

Conclusion:

By using the Dynamo Python Template, programmers can leverage the power of Python scripting in Dynamo with ease. The template provides a comprehensive starting point for developing custom nodes and scripts, reducing development time and promoting code reusability. Start using this template today to enhance your Dynamo workflows.
