Example: Exhaustive Search vs Genetic Search

💡

For Historic Perspective Only -- The workflow shown in this example use an older Dynamo package that pioneered in the use of Genetic Search algorithms called Optimo. The Optimo package no longer works — it was replaced by two newer tools — the first generation was called Refinery, and the newest generation is called Generative Design for Revit. So, don’t try to implement these workflows. Use them as examples to understand the inner workings of how Genetic Search algorithms work behind the scenes.
