Exit Access Travel Distance

Hi Everyone. New here. New to Dynamo. I work with large warehouses that utilize a significant amount of material handling equipment (conveyors) and platforms. I understand that Dynamo has the ability to calculate the egress travel distance from any point on a platform to the nearest exit door down on the ground floor. I would just have to provide the correct nodes(?) for the different levels and doors (I think). Is there a good reference that people use to help write these scripts? Is there a place to purchase a generic script that I could modify?

Revit + AI Tutorial | Generate & Extract Area Information
In this video, we use Claude Code and pyRevit MCP to extract apartment data from a Revit model.
Starting from Areas, Claude calculates information such as:

Distance to stairs and elevators
Number and area of windows
Number of neighboring units
Maximum ceiling height

The values are then stored directly into Revit Areas, as project parameters.
We also turn the workflow into a reusable pyRevit tool, so the calculations can be repeated without having to prompt Claude every time.
Finally, we look at ways to export the results to Excel and some important limitations to watch for when using AI-generated BIM data.

Mind the Gap: The Interface Between Onsite and Offsite Construction
Every design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA) project — modular, mass timber, or panelized — is really two projects joined at a seam. One is built in a controlled factory to millimeter tolerances; the other in the field, in weather, to the looser tolerances of poured concrete and human hands. Between them sits an interface: where the factory's precision meets the site's reality.
