Case Study - BimorphNodes

Overview

BimorphNodes was developed to address critical performance bottlenecks and capability gaps in Dynamo workflows for Revit. As BIM coordination and automation requirements grew more complex, existing Dynamo tools struggled with the computational demands of clash detection, geometry intersections, and CAD conversion at scale.

The breakthrough came with the development of ultra-efficient clash detection and intersection algorithms, implemented in high-performance C# rather than Python. These nodes reduce processing times by up to 99.5% compared to traditional techniques, enabling entirely new coordination workflows that were previously impractical due to computation time.

Beyond performance, BimorphNodes pioneered the ability to extract and convert CAD data directly from linked or imported files using layer names as filters—eliminating the need to explode CAD files and preserving the integrity of the source documents. This innovation, combined with advanced sheet automation and LinkElement capabilities, established BimorphNodes as an essential toolkit for computational design workflows in the AEC industry.

With consistent top-10 ranking among Dynamo packages and over 330,000 downloads, BimorphNodes continues to evolve, supporting Revit 2019 through 2026 and all language versions, ensuring accessibility for the global BIM community.
