Overview
The use of Python programming language is becoming an essential skill needed in the built environment to solve problems as it aids data analysis and visualisation. Python provides user friendly and easy to read dynamic programming interface. The application of the Python programming to enhance the information and knowledge management provided by building information modelling (BIM) is increasingly becoming a necessitate in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry.
This 2-day course aims to introduce Python as a programming language in the context of BIM for AEC applications. Specifically, the focus will be on Python Scripting in Dynamo for Revit. Hands-on lab sessions are designed to train participants on the basics of Python that includes syntax, datatypes, conditionals, loops, object orientated programming (OOP), etc. Participants will also be trained and required to develop scripts relevant to their companies’ job scopes.
