These videos are so helpful, i cant even explain. I feel there is too little recognition with only 48 likes out of 2,1K views. Thats rediculous guys.. You cant tell me you all knew how to do this beforehand. As usual Gavin, great video, thanks so much for the helpful videos.
It's OK, I make the content of of genuine interest and passion so likes/views are a byproduct at best. Thanks for the kind words though, and I'm glad they were useful :)
Thank you I have watched this before but when I really want to build my own customized packages I decide to use my own logo and I’ve succeed following your step.It's more obvious to distinguish my nodes from others when searching.
@@AussieBIMGuru Yes, In this- some new collection for COBiedata, Navisworks and pointcloud/and some short scripts for daily mep workflow. Thanks again.
Wow Can't wait for python series😄, currently I am learning python as my first programming language from TH-cam, but no one teaching python for dynamo/Revit. Waiting for your videos 😃.
Looking forward to it also! There weren't too many easy to follow resources, although a copy do exist. I'll be kicking off in 2 weeks from today, in the meantime these might help: th-cam.com/video/2e6tKofKsSo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/GQaeIwIOIXs/w-d-xo.html I used these resources to learn also.
Here is a Dynamo video suggestion: List a few ways to find new nodes or packages. Useful resources to make sure you don't have to recreate something that has already been done.
@@AussieBIMGuru thank's for your reply. I created node in VisualStudio 2019 that from input string message return "Hello" + message. Built it (got ZeroTouch.dll) and placed ZeroTouch.dll to bin directory of my current package with the same name. In the pkg.json set "contains_binaries":true and "node_libraries":["ZeroTouch"]. And got dyf files with icon but ZeroTouch node without icon
Hi gavin, I followed your videos but why it seem I encounter some error?
Error denotes: C:\Users\FQZ\Source\Repos\IconTesting\IconTesting\IconTesting.csproj : error : The project file could not be loaded. The 'Target' start tag on line 53 position 5 does not match the end tag of 'GetReferenceAssembliesPaths'. Line 56, position 5. C:\Users\FQZ\Source\Repos\IconTesting\IconTesting\IconTesting.csproj Any help on these very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hrm can't say I know enough about C# to tackle this error... make sure; - you are using visual studio 2019 (latest) - you are using net framework 2.0 - resx resources are embedded - you copy the text block from the github itself into csproj, make sure to match indentation Also look specifically at line 53/56 - it looks like there is an open statement here ( maybe?). Double check it all sits at the same indent here.
Have you published your nodes or package yet? I like your kick flip idea. Something we have seen you create quite a lot, and wished there was a node for that. Great work Gavin! Looking forward to learning along with you.
Thanks! I haven't published it officially yet, but I update a copy on my github from time to time. Not quite ready yet; want to add some more content to it before putting it on the package manager formally. github.com/aussieBIMguru/Crumple
I think it should work like this; stackoverflow.com/questions/2119539/how-do-i-set-the-path-to-a-dll-file-in-visual-studio Pretty much all the dynamo related dll files are in the install directory for dynamo itself. Search for my video on boilerplates in dynamo python, i cover most of them there.
HI Gavin, I seem to have some problem with my build. I followed all instructions from the video, I also followed the instructions from the GitHub page - github.com/DynamoDS/Dynamo/wiki/Creating-Icons-for-Custom-Nodes somehow the icons on my nodes are not seen, its still showing the default dynamo icons. I can share my repo if needed. If you can please check it and let me know where I am going wrong, it will be of great help. Regards
I've found this workflow doesn't always seem to work consistently - usually the problem is how Visual Studio is set up. Make sure you have the latest SDK set up and are using VS2019 or higher. I'm not actually that experienced with C#, so this is really the only thing I recall having to do - I've since uninstalled it as it was causing some conflicts on my computer. It might be worth going to Dynamo forums if issues persist even after you've checked these things, as I want the Dynamo team to take some ownership over this process from a bug fixing perspective given they are more experienced with C# and development issues.
Many thanks to you, I'm learning from you everyday thanks again and again

Good idea, my video next week on Monday touches on this moreorless!

Hi, thanks a lot! Working for dyf but not dll. How about dll?
Not quite sure what you mean, the dll the workflow generates is what assigns the images. Maybe clarify in more detail what is/isn't working.

Thanks! I think I would not be able to this with only the Github text. After repairing a typing error in my image names it worked fine.
You're welcome! Enjoy your newly iconed package :)
How do you point your Visual Studio to Dynamo API? Whats the Dynamo api dll file called?
I think it should work like this;
stackoverflow.com/questions/2119539/how-do-i-set-the-path-to-a-dll-file-in-visual-studio
Pretty much all the dynamo related dll files are in the install directory for dynamo itself.
Search for my video on boilerplates in dynamo python, i cover most of them there.
Good day.
Could you share the "Addition.txt" file with us? thank you
This extra text can be found over on the wiki shown in the video, it was added by me after recording this video.
Where is the github you posted the solution in please.
