Troubleshooting Dynamo Scripts

My Script has Errors

Occasionally, a script might not execute properly if your setup lacks certain nodes from a required package. If these packages aren't installed on your computer, the script will fail. Please, take a moment to visit the Dynamo Script product page to identify the necessary packages for running the script.

Open the Workspace Refernces Window to check for missing Packages:

Revit Versions and Dynamo compatibility

The same script can behave differently with different versions of Revit. We recommend checking the Dynamo Script version listed on the product page to ensure optimal compatibility and performance.

 

Important:

All our Dynamo scripts are vetted and used by our team before we release them. But, just like anything in computing, Dynamo isn't foolproof. You might run into issues where a script doesn't perform as expected on your system or within your specific project. Make sure you've installed all the necessary packages before running a script. If you're using Dynamo Player and encounter an error, the issue is often a missing package, so try editing the script directly in Dynamo. While we can't take responsibility for how you use these scripts, we're here to help fix issues and answer questions as best as we can, typically responding weekly.

Save your file before running a Dynamo Script!

Remember, working with Dynamo scripts can lead to unexpected changes in your files. Always save your work, or better yet, work on a copy, before using a script.

For the best results, close and reopen Dynamo each time you want to run the same script on a file.
