Share your new tool in a way that allows others to download and easily use it.

Your complete submission should include:

  • The Dynamo or Grasshopper scripts and all the supporting nodes needed to run your tool.
  • Documentation for how to use your tool. It should include:
    • A brief overview of what your tools does (to help users decide whether to download it and give it a try). Think of a “ReadMe” file for software.
      • This dynamo file creates a cost estimate during the preliminary design phase of a project. At the foundation of this cost estimation tool are Revit materials which are assigned a unit cost and are used as a proxy to create cost “line item” for each material. The output of the various nodal logic is an excel document that can be utilized to help understand where money is being spent and can help designers and owners make decisions about material alternatives.
    • A catchy name (or acronym) for your tool
      • Dyno-Costmater
    • A teaser image that shows typical results, i.e. what users should expect to get as an output
      • image

    • A link to a recorded video demo (2 minutes max) in which you demonstrate how a user would interact with and benefit from using your parametric design tool.

      • Please be certain to share your video with a PUBLIC link that will allow anyone with the link to view it:

    • If you use Zoom to record your video, download the recording to an MP4 file or Copy the shareable link from the Canvas interface.
    • If you save an MP4 file to Google Drive or One Drive, be sure to set the permission to Allow Anyone with Link to View.
    • If you use YouTube to host your video, set the Visibility to Unlisted, then paste the link into your Notion posting using the “/Video” command.

      • Be sure to test your video link to confirm that the visibility / permission settings will allow others to view it.
