Dynamo scripting offers a powerful way to quickly perform repetitive or complicated modeling tasks.

After creating a script, you can run it directly in Alias using Dynamo Player.

Dynamo Player lets you leverage the power of scripting without needing to know how to create or modify scripts in Dynamo’s visual programming environment.

To get started, launch Dynamo Player from the Transform tool palette.

Load your script, select its script inputs, execute the script and then adjust the parameters to generate the desired results.

Before running your scripts in Dynamo Player, you must first prepare them.

To do this, ensure that Is Input is selected on each input node you want to control in Dynamo Player.

You can easily design new scripts or update existing scripts to be better adapted for playback in Dynamo Player.

For example, grouping nodes lets you organize and control how they appear in Dynamo Player.

Adding labels to groups can make the scripts easier to use.

The way input nodes are ordered in the script is the same order they appear in Dynamo Player, starting from top to bottom.

Alias provides several sample scripts that are configured to run in Dynamo Player right away.

These scripts are located in the Dynamo Player folder located in your Alias installation directory.
