Introduction
Programming languages are created to express ideas, usually
involving logic and calculation. In addition to the objectives, the
Dynamo textual language (formerly DesignScript) has been
created to express design intentions. It is generally recognized
that computational designing is exploratory, and Dynamo tries to
support this: we hope you find the language flexible and fast
enough to take a design from concept, through design iterations,
to your final form.
This manual is structured to give a ur with no knowledge of

either programming or architectural geometry full exposure to a
variety of topics in the two intercting disciplines. Individuals

with more experienced backgrounds should jump to the individual
ctions which are relevant to their interests and problem
domain. Each ction is lf-contained, and doesn’t require any
knowledge besides the information prented in prior ctions.
Text blocks int in the Consolas font should be pasted into a
Code Block node. The output of the Code Block should be

your program.
This document discuss the Dynamo textual programming language, ud inside of the Dynamo editor (sometimes referred to as “Dynamo Sandbox”). To create a new Dynamo script, open the Dynamo editor, and lect the “New” button in the “FILES” group:
This will open a blank Dynamo graph. To write a Dynamo text
script, double click anywhere in the canvas. This will bring up a
“Code Block” node. In order to easily e the results of our
scripts, attach a “Watch” node to the output of your Code Block
node, as shown here:
Every script is a ries of written commands. Some of the
commands create geometry; others solve mathematical
problems, write text files, or generate text strings. A simple, one
line program which generates the quote “Less is more.” looks like
this:
The Watch node on the left shows the output of the script.
"Less is more.";施工公告

The command generates a new String object. Strings in Dynamo are designated by two quotation marks ("), and the enclod characters, including spaces, are pasd out of the node. Code Block nodes are not limited to generating Strings. A Code Block node to generate the number 5420 looks like this: Every command in Dynamo is terminated by a micolon. If you do not include one, the Editor will add one for you. Also note that the number and combination of spaces, tabs, and carriage
returns, called white space, between the elements of a command do not matter. This program produces the exact same output as the first program:
Naturally, the u of white space should be ud to help improve the readability of your code, both for yourlf and future readers. Comments are another tool to help improve the readability of your code. In Dynamo, a single line of code is “
commented ” with two forward slashes, //. This makes the node ignore everything written after the slashes, up to a carriage return (the end of the line). Comments longer than one line begin with a forward slash asterisk, /*, and end with an asterisk forward slash, */.
