Dynamo is a node-based visual programming environment built into Revit. It's used by architects, engineers, and BIM specialists to:

• Automate repetitive tasks (e.g., renumbering rooms)
• Create parametric geometry
• Manage data (e.g., import/export Excel data)
• Optimize building performance
• Develop custom tools without needing a full plugin

Key Components of Dynamo

• Nodes: The building blocks — each node represents a function or data type.
• Wires: Connections between nodes, passing data or geometry.
• Workspaces: The canvas where you build your visual scripts.
• Packages: Community-developed add-ons (like Clockwork, Data-Shapes, or Archilab) that extend functionality.

Installing hsbDynamo Nodes

‍Step 1. Find Your Dynamo Packages Path

• Open Dynamo, the Dynamo command can be found in your Revit under the Manage Tab.

• Select ‘’Preferences’’ in the Dynamo pull down menu (Picture 1), a popup window will appear.

• Select the ‘’Package Settings’’ in the Preferences popup window.
• Select the + next to Node and Package File Locations
• this will confirm your default package location. (Picture 2)
  The typical default path for Revit 2025 with Dynamo 3.3 is: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RVT2025\Dynamo\3.3\packages

Step 2. Copy the hsbDynamoNodes folder to the following folder:‍

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\hsbOnRevit.bundle\RvtDynamoPacks2025\hsbDynamoNodes

Copy the entire hsbDynamoNodes folder and past it in Step 3

‍Step 3. Paste the folder

• Past the hsbDynamNodes folder from C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\hsbOnRevit.bundle\RvtDynamoPacks2025\hsbDynamoNodes (Picture 3)

• to C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RVT2025\Dynamo\3.3\packages (Picture 4)

STILL TO FINISH

Step 4. Launch Dynamo

Open Dynamo. You should now see two nodesets in the Library:

• hsb_DynamoCustomNodes
   
  • Contains action nodes such as Generate Construction, Override      Connection, Edge Details, and others.
• • hsbCAD
     
    • Contains auxiliary dropdown nodes that read hsbcad data from      the current Revit document and supply input to the action nodes.

Step 5. Explore the Example

For a working sample, open the example graph located in:

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RVT2025\Dynamo\3.3\packages\hsbDynamoNodes\extra\Automation Construction POC

This file demonstrates how the hsbDynamo nodes can be used together.

These steps will ensure the hsbDynamo nodes are correctly installed and ready for use within Revit 2024, 2025 and 2026.
